Creating awareness in Presbytery

Recognizing that resistance to racism is a life-long journey, here are some ways presbyteries can become involved. These are starting points not final steps.

*Continue supporting the anti-racism training team to work with the congregations of the presbytery.

*Provide anti-racism training to presbytery staff, elected officers, and committee members.
Provide anti-racism training to minister members of the presbytery and to candidates for the ministry under care of the presbytery.

* Identify and learn about issues impacted by racism (i.e. capital punishment, the criminal justice system, poverty, education, etc.)

*Encourage and support Sacred Conversations on Race" Building The Beloved Community"


How have you created awareness in your presbytery?
