Holy Imagination + Race: A free Presbyterian Outlook webinar on September 15
HOLY IMAGINATION + RACE:
How the Church Can Be a Healing Force in America’s Racial Divide
September 15 at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT
90-minute Presbyterian Outlook webinar
Presented by Kerry Connelly
Sponsored by Presbyterian Publishing — Free of charge to participants
There is no denying what history makes clear: Systemic racism in America is deeply entwined with the history of the institutional church. Even today, the church must look at our complicity — which at times has been overt, and other times the product of mere silence. The good news – and there is good news – is that church is in the business of redemption and prophetic imagination. That means that the church can lead toward a more just world that truly resembles the realm of God.
In this webinar, you will:
Begin to understand and deconstruct white identity and how it operates in the world.
Understand the process of this deconstruction, and how it resembles the stages of grief.
Learn how to practice agency over embedded whiteness, unconscious bias and inherent racism.
Get practical tips on how to combat systemic racism.
Acquire language and tools to companion others in their process of deconstructing whiteness and other systems of dominance.
Learn how the church can be an agent of change and justice in the current racial divide.
