Monthly Intergenerational Learning: Tell Me the Truth about Racism
Sunday, November 21, 2021, 11:30 AM
Tell Me the Truth about Racism invites Christian disciples of all ages into the work of antiracism through faith in God.
This curriculum is meant to bring people of all ages to a childlike state of wonder to do the work of antiracism through faith. Using music and storytelling we will share the experiences of systemic racism through history and see it with new eyes.
We believe that framing racism in the context of our faith offers a powerful value system to ground an otherwise difficult discussion. This approach defines racism as “the lie in our world that some people are better than others based on the color of their skin.” It is only because of the Truth we know from God, that all people are equally children of God, that we can clearly frame racism as a lie. After we share stories, we will split into affinity groups to wonder about the stories, God, and our world. The affinity groups will be separated into: BIPOC adults, children, youth, parents, and adults. Some groups may be combined depending on our numbers.
Tell Me the Truth About Racism will meet monthly on the third Sunday of each month: (Sept 19, Oct 17, Nov 21* [skip Dec] Jan 16*, Feb 20, Sixth session TBD)
11:30am-12:30pm on site and masked as conditions allow, moving between St. Gregory’s and Trinity HP*
