Creating awareness in congregations

Recognizing that resistance to racism is a life-long journey, here are several ways congregations can become involved

* Offer anti-racism training events on a regular basis for congregational members

* Purchase resources for the congregational library or resources center that tell histories of different cultures.

*Articulate the difference between race prejudice (negative prejudgments based on insufficient evidence) and racism (the combination of race prejudice and power to create systems which disadvantage some and grant privilege to others).

*Plan and implement a mission project with a congregation whose members are of a different race or ethic group.

How have you created awareness in your congregation?
