this is the Pre-emptive Radical Inclusion that CB Beal speaks/writes/teaches about. We've been making small adjustments around the congregation where I serve, and regulars sort of grumbled for a while at the changes. Then we had a BIG EVENT that brought lots of visitors with many different needs, and suddenly, we had space for those folks already prepared and it all made sense. They're not muttering any more, now that they see how important it was for those spaces to be ready when people needed them.
