Anti Racism - Fall 2023
The first session of this forum was be held June 6 2023 and lasted a few weeks

Rev. Lois led us in a systematic evaluation of  Black & Episcopalian in preparation for the discussion that night.  A generous donor provided copies of the book to all that wanted to participate.
____________________________________________________________

The class revolved around racism and the history of the Episcopal Church. We will discuss the book Black and Episcopalian: the struggle for inclusion by Gayle Fisher Stewart. All questions are appropriate, including all emotions: anger, sadness, disappointment, and frustration.
We are called as people of God to understand our history, confront our sins, forgive ourselves and each other and move forward justly.
You may find this book on Amazon or by any other means. See below for a link to the Amazon page.

We are starting with the book of Tobit.  This page will be updated as we discuss new material.
