Register for Faith & Race Explorations

Saturday, November 20

On Saturday, November 20, we will hold our first Saturday morning Faith & Race Exploration from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The theme will be an exploration of “Truth and Reconciliation” as tool for community healing, and Hazel Monae, who is the bishop’s amazing new Missioner for Equity & Justice, will join us to help guide us through the morning. This will be in-person with a mix of plenary and breakout sessions, and we will provide coffee and lunch. This is open to everyone, regardless of age, and whether or not you attended Sacred Ground.
