***Two additional sessions of this training will be offered summer 2021 and fall 2021***
This intentional step will help us as we grow through an in-depth interaction and exploration of how to break down the earthly barriers to becoming the church described in Revelation 7:9. Using the book Multiethnic Conversations: An Eight-Week Journey Toward Unity in Your Church by Mark DeYmaz and Oneya Fennell Okuwobi, additional selected readings, engaging conversations, and experiential exercises, we will gain skills to be 'ambassadors of reconciliation' within our church and beyond. Each week, along with the readings, we will cover topics beginning with 'Race: The Lie, The Truth, and God's Word' and continuing with themes including diversity, equity, inclusion; unconscious bias; the privileges we each carry, and how to use them; cultural competency; cross-cultural communication; micro-aggressions; multiethnic invitation through hospitality and outreach; and making a plan and envisioning your multiethnic church.
