Description

Racism is evil and Christians are called on to resist it. Sometimes white Christians need help to know what to do. We want to help. Even when we see the harm of racism, many of us feel ill-equipped for right action to oppose it, or even feel confident in recognizing it as it happens around us. As Christians, in our baptismal vows, we make a promise to resist evil, injustice and oppression in whatever forms that they present themselves. We all have different levels of comfort with confronting oppression, but we are challenged to learn and grow to make anti-racist practice a regular part of our lives. This is the second of a short series of workshops (need not attend all, but recordings are available) that will ground our anti-racism work in faith, introduce spiritual and embodied practices to build resilience, and build skills for interrupting harmful behaviors and speech. MASKS ARE REQUIRED to protect our most vulnerable attendees. This workshop will be facilitated by Rev. Dana Neuhauser, Racial Justice Organizer for the Minnesota Annual Conference.
