Dismantling Racism: The Role of Allies as Agents of Change You are invited to participate in a workshop to strengthen your anti-racism efforts at the church and in the wider world. Although we will warmly welcome and be delighted to include folks of color at this workshop, the primary focus will be on the role of white people as sensitive and effective allies to people of color. We will discuss white privilege, personal, cultural and institutional racism, and what we can do to create change. We will keep the words of the prophet Micah in our minds and on our hearts throughout the workshop: “God has told you, O mortal, what is good: and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” Guided by those prophetic words, the workshop will include some analysis but will emphasize doing justice, acting with courage, and being an ally. All questions welcome, full participation in this very participatory workshop is encouraged, and concrete steps to create change will flow from our discussions. All are welcome. Workshop Leader: Pastor Andrea Saturday, January 17th, from 9 AM until 1 PM Haydenville Church Dining Room Pre-registration is strongly encouraged (by contacting Pastor Andrea) (Please do not sign up for the workshop unless you can stay for the entire four hours.)
