Jubilee Anti-Racism Training 

 

Do you wish to nurture your congregation's multicultural future in the face of opposing cultural currents?  Do you wish to deepen your understanding of how race and ethnicity play out in our institutions and our daily lives?

Jubilee Anti-Racism Training helps participants understand what is involved in nurturing a multicultural community and working against racism in all of its forms.  The workshop requires a weekend commitment, and it is worth every minute of that commitment. 

This 2 1/2 day workshop is open to members of any congregation in the Joseph Priestley District.  Church leaders are especially encouraged to attend.

Goals:

• To develop a shared analysis of racism and its individual, institutional, and cultural manifestations
• To begin to apply this common understanding to the history, culture, and institutional structure of our congregation, and to envision next steps

The training includes presentations, discussions, videos, exercises, small group work, worship services, and shared meals.

Fee:  $150 per participant (includes cost for trainers, meals and materials).  Scholarships are available.  Contributions in support of this work are welcome.
