Facilitators
provide guidance for the Anti-Racism Dialogues "Seeing
the Face of God in Each Other: A Positive Vision of
the Unity that can be achieved through Christ".
They will guide groups through an interactive
process to increase participants' awareness and understanding
of diversity, prejudice, social power, privilege and
institutional and systemic racism. The ideal
goal of the dialogues is the transformation of individuals,
congregations and the Church, from a habit of exclusiveness
to a value of full participation, the elimination
of social oppression and shared decision-making and
power.
Anti-racism
Training
As
it is so very important for participants of anti-racism
training to experience the process within the context
of community, the Anti-racism Dialogues will be congregationally
or organizationally based. In other words,
for the foreseeable future, "Seeing
the Face of God in Each Other" will sponsored
by a congregation or congregations or by a commission,
committee, agency, district or board.
The
dates will be published on the diocesan
calendar, in the Voice
and posted online each month with the name of
the contact person (and phone number) at the congregation
or committee, so that others who so desire may join
the groups based on the convenience of the location
or the schedule. Call for more information. |
