Meet the Governing Board

The following dedicated people guide the work of Interwoven Congregations.  
 

​I work for racial healing to provide a higher conscience-minded voice and perspective to help dispel ignorance and fears that (as an African American) were perpetrated upon me. I promote what Dr. King espoused, a day when I and anyone will "Not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."  My hope is to exist in a world where we recognize that, though we're so uniquely different, we can embrace our commonalities.   

Serving on staff in two churches dedicated to interracial ministry, I discovered that the heart of Jesus' message conjoins spiritual with communal needs. That deep river of the prophets guides and inspires me to serve on the board of Interwoven. 

​ 

My dedication to racial equity is rooted in a belief that we are all entrusted with the responsibility to uphold the dignity and worth of every person. I view this work as integral to our personal responsibility and essential to kingdom building. By joining this board, I hope to contribute by fostering inclusive and just dialogue that reflects my values of equity, compassion, and unity.

I'm involved in this work of racial healing because of joy -- for when we truly join hands, our hearts swell and we catch a glimpse of the Kingdom.  I'm involved in this work because of heartbreak -- for injustices too long denied and too present to ignore.  And I do this work out of hope -- that one relationship, one partnership, and one action at a time, by God's grace, will draw us closer to the Beloved Community we seek.  

Working towards racial justice requires faith, purpose, and passion. Together, we can use our gifts to build relationships that lead towards better understanding, empathy, and love.
