Welcome to Interwoven Congregations Quarterly -- A journal of insight and expression on the road to racial justice and healing. In each issue you will find special interviews that illumine and inspire, profiles of new anti-racism resources, and artistic renderings from verse to sketch to video.
Issue #5 (May 2022) shares the vision and challenge of Elder Elona Street-Stewart and Rev. Gregory Bentley, co-moderators of the Presbyterian Church USA, for how the church can be an agent for racial justice and healing, including among Native American communities.
