BELOVED CONVERSATIONS: Meditations on Race and Ethnicity is a powerful tool for the journey of healing racism and encouraging a multicultural lens in the congregation and how we engage with our community at large. This experiential program began with a weekend retreat, October 19 & 20th, offered by a curriculum developer from Meadville Lombard Theological School and continues with eight small group sessions using the curriculum. The participants formed three groups (now closed), which will continue meeting through March.
