Anti-Racism
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus ." Galatians 3:28
Let's talk about race
Your kids aren't too young to talk about race. Resources to help parents have conversations about race and raising anti-racist children exist. Let's add to this ongoing conversation. Please be in touch with additional suggestions.

Talking about Race
Resources for Parents & Leaders
Racial Reconciliation
North Point Community Church offers excellent resources and support. Explore a library of resources on race, racism, and positive change. Receive prayer, counseling and other support if you are a person of color. Learn as a family to talk about race and connect to others through their personal videos.
Grace, Justice, & Mercy
In an age of mass incarceration and growing racial tension, how can a church committed to the flourishing of a whole city engage as ambassadors of reconciliation and restoration? Bryan Stevenson & Tim Keller will help us explore ways to sustain hope through a grace filled pursuit of justice and mercy as they draw from their own calling and work.
Cultural Humility
Michael Burns, a teacher in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Church of Christ, speaks at a September South Sound Church of Christ midweek service on the subject of cultural humility. Michael has written a book about this subject and has made a week of devotionals free to us as well.
