Racism and oppression have a long and painful past and present, it is an open, aching human wound that reflects a fracture in our relationship with God. Understanding how it was promoted and is still alive and acting out in the construct of our beliefs and systems and structures is the beginning of caring for this wound.

In this series on faith and race, we will spend time thinking about identity, imagination, and radical inclusion as we strive to fight white supremacy in our hearts, homes, and communities. This class will combine videos from people like Bryon Stevenson, Jim Wallis, Simone Campbell, Robyn Henderson-Espinoza, and James Frobes with somatic practices that can help us to understand how best to respond in moments of racial tension.
