Programs | 3rd Wednesdays
Join Pastor Amity and other Gracers as we learn, pray, and act together for racial reconciliation. We will meet on the 3rd Wednesday of each month throughout the 2020-2021 program year. Using the framework from the Episcopal Church’s Racial Reconciliation team, we will learn from a variety of resources (books, articles, movies, videos, etc); pray for racial justice in Chicago, Illinois, and the United States; and explore specific ways to act for change. On Wednesday, April 21 at 6:30pm We will be reading a letter to the Episcopal Church from three women priests of color: Speaking of Freedom: A Letter to the Church on Breaking Free of White Supremacy, by the Rev. Kelly Brown Douglas, the Rev. Stephanie Spellers, and the Rev. Winnie Varghese. The letter can be found online, and a video of the authors reading it can be found on YouTube. We will also read the Evangelical Leaders Statement Condemning Christian Nationalism's role in the January 6 Insurrection. The statement and list of signers can be found online at saynotochristiannationalism.org/ Please contact Pastor Amity for more information.
