Anti-Racism Documentaries & Discussion Series
God calls us to seek justice and liberation for all of God’s children and all of creation. Recognizing we have work to do in responding to this call, this fall, all are invited to learn more about how racial injustice and systemic racism is operative in the world today, so that we can take informed next steps to help dismantle racism and nurture the racial justice God desires.
