An intensive 2.5 day workshop which will help you understand

and analyze racism in our Church and society.

 

Join us for an exploration of:

The definition of systemic racism;

The three manifestations of racism— individual, institutional, and cultural, and their effects on both communities of color and white communities;

The issue of racism and the task of dismantling racism from spiritual, ethical, political and social perspectives, with the goal of equipping people to combat racism within their institutions and in the larger society.
