DISMANTLING RACISM TRAINING

The Dismantling Racism training is designed to foster greater racial understanding, promote healing, and encourage reconciliation within the church and the wider community. This transformative program is offered multiple times throughout the year to ensure broad participation. It is mandatory for all parish clergy, as well as for lay leaders, including members of the vestry. By engaging in this training, participants are equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to address the impact of racism, both within the church and in the larger society.

 

Each session is led by highly experienced facilitators who possess an extensive background in and deep understanding of the complexities of racial healing. They bring a wealth of knowledge, sensitivity, and insight to the process, ensuring that each participant’s journey toward healing is guided with care, respect, and a profound commitment to fostering meaningful, lasting change.
