This is the third in a series of four anti-racism educational events based on a model produced by WELCA. Participants are asked to bring humility, curiosity and courage as we together enter the conversation.

Part 3 (Connection) examines how our (mis)perceptions of others can be due to a lack of connectiveness. How can individuals, especially Lutherans, understand each other’s circumstances and life experiences in order to connect? (scheduled for 2020)
