Racism town halls debut



Reconciliation Ministry and the Office of General Minister and President are cooperating to present a series of town halls via Zoom (registration required). The Love is an Action Word series began last week with a conversation among white clergy about their learnings in avoiding complicity in racism.



These sessions could be good conversation starters for a meeting of your own members (virtual or in person) where you could process together what you heard.



Every two weeks from now until November, additional episodes will take place on Thursdays at 7 pm ET/6 pm CT and 4 pm PT. (schedule subject to change) View the July 30 recording
