To Be Seen and Heard: The Power of Welcome, Safety, and Belonging in the Church

To Be Seen and Heard The Power of Welcome, Safety, & Belonging in the Church As a child of God who discovered his calling early in life, Rev. Kelly Chatman, affectionately known as “Chatdaddy” and “PK,” shares his journey rooted in the radical gift of welcome—a foundation that has helped him withstand the ignorance and rejection of racism, fear, and indifference. PK’s lifelong commitment to the church demonstrates the transformative power of faith communities to create spaces where people feel seen and heard. This book challenges the church to transcend harmful traditions, forge new relationships, and celebrate diversity within communities. "To Be Seen and Heard" includes personal stories and reflection questions, inviting readers to reconnect with their vocation, purpose, and calling as baptized people of God. Each chapter encourages readers to reflect on their personal experiences, recognize their socialization around race and difference, and explore new ways to build inclusive and welcoming communities. The book is an invitation to be the work of the church, transcending boundaries and building a future where everyone experiences welcome, safety, and belonging.
