Description

Growing and honoring the beloved community in Eastern and Western Michigan. The Dismantling Racism Steering Committee will sponsor an opportunity for members of the Episcopal Dioceses of Eastern and Western Michigan to participate in a two-day intensive offered by CORE (Congregations Organizing for Racial Equity, formerly "CORR").  The training, titled "Understanding Racism" covers the many facets of racism, from its origins to its outward manifestations. It explores scripture, definitions of racism and common language, and encourages participants to look inward at their biases, as well as outward at the institutions and locations in which they live, work, and worship. This particular offering will be contextualized for an Episcopal audience.  For Western Michigan participants - this training satisfies the requirements under Level 1 and Level 2 of the diocesan dismantling racism policy.  The Episcopal Dioceses of Eastern and Western Michigan are partners in mission for God's Kingdom.
