| This workshop is an outreach of the Reconciliation Ministry of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). As one of its top four priorities, Pro-Reconciliation/Anti-Racism (PRAR) is intimately tied to the church’s mission to be a church that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality and a passion for justice. This initiative seeks to nurture the wholeness of the church through educating and engaging congregational leaders to dismantle systemic racism and other oppressive structures. |
