Faith and Racial Healing Groups Starting Soon

Do you want to learn how to advocate for racial healing within your family, church, and community? Join us!

Faith & Racial Healing: Embracing Truth, Justice and Restoration is an eight-session program that guides participants in telling the truth about the history of racism in the United States, that we might work toward true reconciliation with God and restoration with one another. Faith and Racial Healing is presented through the lens of the Christian tradition and is the second program in JustFaith Ministries’ racial justice series.

This program consists of eight 2½ hour sessions, including prayer, active listening, and relationship-building. Though Faith and Racial Healing focuses specifically on African Slaves and their descendants, it also opens participants’ eyes to patterns of injustice that affect other people of color as well. As with all JustFaith programs, participants explore how their faith should inform their response to their learning, as well as discern action steps for working toward racial healing in their own communities.
