Join us for a transformative class on How to Fight Racism: Courageous Christianity and the Journey Toward Racial Justice by Jemar Tisby—a compelling and practical guide for people of faith who want to move beyond awareness and into action. Grounded in a Christian vision of justice and reconciliation, this study invites us to confront the reality of racism with honesty, courage, and hope. Together, we’ll explore concrete steps toward building beloved community as we live into our baptismal call to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves. All are welcome—come ready to learn, reflect, and act.
As a Reconciling in Christ community, we pledge to strive for truth and justice. And we acknowledge that the necessary work required of us to live into that pledge demands we take an honest look at ourselves and do the hard work of examining and rooting out the systemic injustices in our church.
During February of 2025, we hosted a weekly discussion of Jemar Tisby's book "The Color of Compromise." This was the first part of a 2-part series on anti-racism we are hosting this year.
Part 2 of the series will begin on September 10th.
We will meet via Zoom on Wednesdays @ 7pm, on chapter per week. Please be on the lookout in our newsletter, on social media and our website for more info. Tisby's follow-up to his first book, "How to Fight Racism", will be the subject of the second series. There are copies of the book and an accompanying study guide available now and for FREE at Nineveh for any who would like one.
