Race & Faith Cohort: Learning Communities for White Evangelicals

November 1

Free

Cohorts are communities where white Christians can learn about racism from a biblical perspective and develop the capacity to respond to it as an outworking of their faith. They are six-month commitments through which participants examine and respond to the ways racism impacts ourselves, our society, our Christian communities, and faith. They are run in a seminar-style format for small groups of 6-8 people and utilize various methods, including engaging books and media, guest speakers, discussion, spiritual disciplines, creative exercises and field trips. Cohorts value experiential and peer learning and aim to get beyond an intellectual understanding of race by engaging the whole person in mind, body, emotions, and spirit. At the end of each cohort, participants go through an individual and communal discernment process regarding how they can take actions to contribute to the dismantling of racism in their sphere of influence.
