About this Webinar
Being antiracist requires more than hosting the periodic book club. Both as individuals and faith communities we can make changes to our practices to become more faithful witnesses to God’s love on earth. In this webinar hosted by Katherine Malloy, panelists the Rev. Melanie Mullen and the Rev. Claire Brown will share strategies from their experience in antiracism and reconciliation. Participants will receive a list of the panelists’ go-to resources for cultivating culture change in a variety of ministry contexts.
