ELCA Now is the Time study (5 part series):
An ELCA Declaration to People of African Descent
5 Thursdays from 9 - 11 am Pacific Time
April 28 - June 2 (not meeting on May 19)
If you want to journey through this study together, please join us.
Now is the time...
...for white members of the ELCA to face our own resistance and fear
...to name uncomfortable truths
...to let go of guilt and embrace responsibility
...to uncover silence and complicity
...to acknowledge the depths of systemic racism and white supremacist culture and thinking
...for repentance, and the time to trust God’s liberating grace, which gives us courage to face an uncomfortable past and walk boldly into a new future of racial justice and reconciliation, and of structural change.
We can do this work better in community. Join us.
