It's a call for our time.
​
Racism continues to hold a grip on our nation. We see this enduring reality through the widening wealth gap between blacks and whites; disparate health impacts for African Americans during Covid 19, child birth, and climate change; and the treatment of people of color in the criminal justice system – to name just a few examples. Over the centuries, white faith communities have been deeply complicit in this story of oppression. But we believe there’s a stirring among people of faith, a hunger, for racial justice and healing. Many just aren’t sure how to go about it and could use a partner along the way.

Racial Justice Resources for your Congregation
Watch the MLK Day Public Reading Event
Thanks to everyone who joined us for this event where 24 people from 3 continents read Dr. King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail! You can watch the full event recording here!

"Me and White Supremacy"
Study circles launch Feb/March 2025
As the New Year gets underway, share in a personal and intensive examination of the dynamic at the heart of our nation's challenge for racial justice. We will use Layla Saad's penetrating text and guided journal, "Me and White Supremacy," and will employ the circle method she recommends for group study. ​The study is designed for white participants who want to help their congregations engage the issue of white supremacy and then take action. Sign up for one of the circles here. There will be a $10 registration fee and participants procure their own texts. Space is limited, so sign up today!

Interwoven Conversation Cards
Could you use a hand in starting a conversation about race in your congregation, or taking that dialogue deeper? Request your own downloadable copy of the Interwoven Conversation Cards (with guidelines) to help your faith community engage these key issues while spurring relationship building and steps toward action.
Take a Civil Rights Pilgrimage
(You can do it in 10 minutes!)
If you'd like to stand at the resting place for Dr. King and Corretta Scott King, enter the sanctuary of the 16th St. Baptist Church in Birmingham, walk the Edmund Pettus Bridge, gaze up at the hanging bronze markers of the Equal Justice Initiative's Peace and Justice Memorial, and hear the reflections of our pilgrimage participants along the way (spoken AND in song!), here's all of that in a 10 minute video.
