Please join us for this introductory anti-racism training at Galilee facilitated by Rev. Marilyn Miller and Joyce Caldwell, PhD that is grounded in stories of participants, the Bible, and history. Through reflection on those stories, participants examine the construction and meaning of racism and the part we all play in upholding and maintaining the system. We will begin to identify steps and opportunities to grow in both understanding and action. The training, open to everyone in the Greater Milwaukee Synod will be held in the lower-level fellowship hall from 9:00 am – 4:30 pm. Materials & lunch are included. Please contact Partnerships & Global Gifting Coordinator Deb Kohler for more info and to register.
