Becoming Beloved Community: Racial Reconciliation and Anti-Racism Training
Six Thursdays, February 13 to March 22, 2025, from 4:00pm-6:00pm Pacific time.
This six-week dialogue workshop and training is led by Kaleidoscope Institute (KI) facilitators and is designed to help us embrace and enact the vision of Becoming Beloved Community, which is a lifelong spiritual and faith journey. KI believes change happens in the space between comfort and fear – what Eric Law has described as the Grace Margin. Our work is based on respectful communication, building relationships where persons can change and learn in developmentally appropriate ways. This workshop and training is intended to satisfy the Episcopal and other denominational Canonical requirements for all lay and ordained leaders to participate in anti-racism training. It includes exploration of historical and contextual instances of oppression and racism in which we all participate. We use models and processes to explore bias, power, and the systems of injustice and inequality.
This workshop is offered in partnership with Bexley Seabury Seminary, an accredited learning institution for all those seeking a path to prophetic and pastoral service. Bexley Seabury pioneers theological education with a 200-year-old history and a deep commitment to a diverse and inclusive future.
