Summer 2018 Quarterly Meeting: August 17-19, 2018
We have invited Laurie Childers , our Friend in Residence, to give us a roadmap for our shared journey into understanding our implicit bias associated with racism.
Theme: Living Our Testimony of Equality: Awakening to Our White Privilege
Laurie will be leading a plenary session in which she will provide a productive exploration of our theme. Worship sharing in small groups will follow where we get to explore our personal experience in a safe, spirit filled space. "Knowledge, Compassion, Justice, and Peace" will form a shared roadmap for shared work on the topic of racism. For more information, see the 2018 June Newsletter.
