Are you interested in learning about the history of race and racism in America and the impact it has on our lives, our church, our world today with other people of faith from across our diocese? Join an online cohort to explore a rich curriculum–using film and readings–focused on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian Pacific Americans as their histories intersect with European American history. This series, developed by The Episcopal Church and Katrina Browne, director of the documentary Traces of the Trade, has been especially designed to help white people engage in conversation about the history of race in America. While it’s been designed for white people, all are welcome. More information including how to register is forthcoming and can be found at dsobeloved.org. Questions? Contact ahowton@diosohio.org. Free, all are welcome, sponsored by Becoming Beloved Community.
