The Racial Dialogue team of Peacemaking has been meeting at a recent evening meeting, attendees agreed to try Myers Park (Charlotte, NC ) PC’s 21 day race equity challenge. After checking in with each other to share what resonated, the team developed a 16 day Race Equity Challenge. This challenge is inspired by Myers Park’s challenge and the PCUSA’s Matthew 25 racial justice challenge; it includes local voices and the224th GA’s Recommendation “Responding to the Sin of Racism and a Call to Action”. In response to the sin of racism, the team encourages all to do the challenge, either individually or with a partner.
Webinar host, Kerry Connell, is a certified coach, speaker and the author of “Good White Racist? Confronting Your Role in Racial Injustice” and “Pause: Making Time to Walk with God.”
