Black Voices Book Club
What does it look like for a predominantly white church to work toward racial justice and reconciliation?
It begins with humbly listening to the voices of our Black brothers and sisters. The Black Voices Book Club is an attempt to do just that.
Every other month beginning this September, we’ll engage with a different book elevating the Black experience and come together to discuss what we’re learning. This year, after beginning with a work to guide our own faith formation through the lens of civil rights history, we’ll specifically look at the role racism has played in the American healthcare system. From historical accounts to works of fiction, we’ll engage in honest reflection as we confront these realities and consider our collective call toward healing. Come to one or come to all—let’s learn together.
