About Us
About Us
The Racial Justice Team is a small group, who each have different personal reasons for engaging in this team: to grow in our understanding of the challenges of confronting racism in our congregation and community, and to actually make a difference over time in lessening latent racism in our small corner of our world. Education and personal involvement are key to this process.
