WEST DISTRICT WILL BE AN ANTIRACIST DISTRICT

I know for some that is a strong statement and you have discounted the efforts. To declare that the West District (Willing in our Missional Service and Way-Out in our Witness for Jesus Christ) will be an ANTIRACIST DISTRICT simply means that we will be on a learning journey from September thru November to “see all cultures in all their differences as on the same level, as equals.” We will be reading the book How to Be An Antiracist by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi. All discussions will be held from 6:00 -7:30 PM ET via ZOOM. The schedule is as follows:

September 13:  Chapters 1 & 2
September 20:  Chapters 3 & 4
September 27:  Chapters 5 & 6
October 4:         Chapters 7 & 8
October 11:      Chapters 9 & 10
October 18:      Chapters 11 & 12
November 2:    Chapters 13 & 14
November 9:    Chapters 15 & 16
November 23:   Chapters 17

I also encourage you to consider, at the end of the learning journey, to join me in traveling on a Civil Rights Tours in collaboration with Educational Opportunities, January 14-18, 2021. We will travel to Birmingham, Selma, and Montgomery. We will visit the National Memorial for Peace and Justice Lynching Memorial, Rosa Parks Museum, Edmund Pettus Bridge, 16^th Street Baptist Church, and the Freedom Riders National Monument. This trip is open to all laity, clergy, and those who are curious. This experience is open to all age levels, as long as they are able to fully engage in the tour that does not disrupt another’s opportunity. The price and registration will be launched in a few weeks, please mark this date if you are interested.
