The Interwoven Congregations Network
The Interwoven Congregations Network has a blend of meeting spaces and collections of resources designed to welcome you into a global community for racial justice and equip you -- personally and as a part of institutions -- to promote racial justice and healing.
Here's what you'll find when you join Network:
The Water Cooler
This is where the action is! Enter the Network Hub and go to the Water Cooler tab at the top left. There you'll be able to meet all the other people who are participating in the Network, start making connections via a chat, catch upcoming events, and see a feed of the main activities across the Network! This is where we begin building our common root system across congregations!

​
Congregational Hubs
Faith communites that join the Network can access a private Congregational Hub where their members can collaborate on their racial justice efforts. If a congregation has a partnership with another faith community(ies), they can share a hub so members from both can deepen their relationships as they work together for racial justice. Networks of faith communities could also get a hub!
​
​(Interwoven Congregations Partners only)​
​
Topics Hubs
We've created a series of topic-specific chat rooms where people can dialogue about Restorative Justice, how to create and maximize a Congregational Partnerships, and other focus issues important to congregations doing racial justice. Join a Topic Hub to learn, share resources, and connect with others who are passionate about the same issues you are. Want another Topic Hub added? Let us know!

The Congregational Toolkit
The Network features an expanded version of the open Congregational Toolkit on the Interwoven website. Here, you'll find additional resources to help us understand systemic racism, build relationships across the divide of race, take action against systemic racism, and sustain our work for racial justice. We are just now beginning to populate the Toolkit which will continue to grow!​​

​
Congregational Network Hubs
Networks of congregations (Dioceses, Presbyteries, Conferences, seminaries, ministerial alliances), as well as racial justice coalitions and other related interest groups can join and receive a dedicated hub where all their members can gather to build relationships and collaborate for racial justice!

Geo Hubs
Do you want to network specifically​ with people in your city or region? We have established an initial series of Geo Hubs for the USA, Europe and Africa where people who live in those locations (or are interested in the racial justice work in those locations) can interact. Is there a city or region that you would like to have added as a Geo Hub? Once 10 members from that city or region join the Network, we'll be happy to create your custom Geo Hub!

​​
Discussion Group Hubs
Join a one-time or recurring discussion group with people in other faith communities to deepen your understanding of how to DO antiracism while building relationships with others. One-time events are free to all while joining a recurring discussion group may involve a small registration fee. (Members of Partner Congregations receive 50% off any registration costs.)

Partner Hubs
On an invitation basis only, Interwoven Congregation welcomes select antiracism organizations to join the Network as organizational Partners. Each partner receives their own hub where they can showcase their services and resources to all Network members who can visit the OPEN hub. The Partner hubs become another rich source for tools and resources for all members!

Interwoven Hubs
Finally, Interwoven has its own Hub where the Interwoven Governing, Adivsory Boards (and the future YOUTH Advisory Board!) are able to gather, access specific resources for their Interwoven work, and collaborate.
