Diocesan Book Read: Church Hurt
Thursdays, February 19-March 26
The Subcommittee on Race and Social Justice of the Chartered Committee for Lifelong Formation invites you to join us for another diocesan-wide book reading and lunchtime discussion! We’ll read Church Hurt: Reparations for My Soul: Healing Racialized Trauma by The Rev. Gayle Fisher-Stewart.
As more and more faith communities deal with the effects of anti-Black racism, a racialized society, and are figuring out how to repair the spiritual, emotional, and physical damage that affects generations of their people, are these communities prepared to do the hard work of reparations and deal with the accompanying backlash those efforts will invite? Do our churches want to become trauma informed?
There is no cost to attend this event. We recommend that you purchase the book from your preferred book retailer.
Contact Jenny Beaumont, missioner for adult and lifelong formation, with questions.
