Racism remains a significant barrier to building truly inclusive multiracial, multicultural community in our lives, our neighborhoods and our churches. This course will draw on the tools of antiracism training to offer a time for dialogue and discovery, as well as Bible study and discernment focused on understanding the ways that racism continues to shape our lives. We will explore resources and strategies to build community through dismantling racism and celebrate the amazing diversity of God's family!
