Peace and Social Justice Committee is pleased to announce a discussion titled, Is our Meeting Racially Diverse, or NOT?
The articles in the January issue of Friends Journal raises many questions and concerns in which to reflect Upon.
In the article titled, “Are we ready to make the necessary changes?” It reveals the historical legacy of the early Quakers distancing relationship with people of color to 21st century struggles to have a truly racially diverse Religious Society if Friends.
What steps can we take to eliminate oppression and racism?
What are the structures and practices that Quakers continue to maintain that reinforce patterns of racial exclusion?
How can we have direct, authentic, cross-racial experiences?
Please join us in reflection and dialogue on Sunday, November 3 between 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM. Please bring a bagged lunch. Refreshments will be provided.
