BUILDING BRIDGES NOW SESSION: Toward becoming an Antiracist Church
How do we talk about something we don’t know how to talk about? By opening the conversation.
Join the dialogue! This two-hour workshop, developed by the Kaleidoscope Institute for the United Church of Canada, offers space, time, and processes for respectful and authentic conversation. We will reflect on our own personal experiences and a brief UCC video. Rather than introducing theories, this workshop will be an opportunity for open discussion. Whether you are new to talking about race and racism or have done in-depth study and work, if you are interested in antiracism this workshop is for you.
When: Aug 4, 2022 07:00 PM – 9:00 PM Eastern Time
