Racial Justice Learning Group

The anti-racism taskforce is starting a book club for the congregation in January and would like to know what you would be interested in reading! Please complete the survey by January 15th. Once the task force reviews the results, we will contact you about what book(s) we will read and the first meeting date and time. 

"When I first heard that a CELC racial task force/discussion group was being formed I was skeptical of what value it might have for me. I never think of myself as being racist. But I look around at the despair that our nation is experiencing and it makes me wonder about myself. I recognize that I was raised and matured in an environment that interacted very little with minorities. So how could I be sure that I wasn't a racist? I never want to hurt anyone's feelings or make them feel inferior. So when the Church offered me a chance to become part of the Racist Taskforce, I felt a driving need to join in the hope that I would become more aware of what racism is and what I can do to be more sensitive to the inequalities. I think many of us can benefit from that experience."
