White Awake: a New book study starting October 9!

with No Comments

Our 2019-2020 program year has two themes: Earthcare and Anti-Racism. “White Awake: An Honest Look at what it means to be white” is an effective tool in helping particularly the white community to pull back the cultural understanding of what it means to be white in America. Many of us have spent our entire lives living in siloed communities where to be “white” was the only culture we have known and understand. Daniel Hill, a pastor, and author, skillfully peels away from his own life experience seven aspects of understanding white cultural identity: encounter, denial, disorientation, shame self-righteousness, awakening, and active participation. There is no greater issue for us to explore today than the evil and cultural distortion of racism. Join this endeavor in furthering your understanding of discipleship and what it means to be “in Christ.” Our book study is set to begin on Wednesday, October 9 at 7:00 pm and run on consecutive Wednesdays.
