Introduction to Dismantling Racism
A partnership among diocesan staff, the Racial Justice and Reconciliation Committee and notable consultants such as Dr. Catherine Meeks of the Absalom Jones Center in Atlanta, “Introduction to Dismantling Racism: Reclaiming Our Baptismal Promise” is an interactive workshop designed to deepen spiritual commitment to dismantling racism as participants in the Jesus Movement. Through presentations, prayer, story sharing, videos and small group discussion, participants explore how the sin of racism impacts all lives.
There is a $15 suggested donation for workshops.
Although it is online, we want you to know Introduction to Dismantling Racism is a participatory workshop in which we build community and learn from each other. Therefore, attendees will need a laptop or tablet with video capability and need to attend the two day workshop in its entirety.
You will need to:
- Log on with a laptop, computer or tablet
- Be fully present and not multitasking
- Attend all sessions without coming late or leaving early. The Zoom room will lock shortly after our start time. Late attendees will not be able to join the workshop
- Keep video on during the session
- Participate in conversations and small groups
