On January 11 from 9 am to 1 pm at St. James Commons, the diocese’s Antiracism Commission will hold a facilitator training to help congregational leaders learn to use Pathway to Reconciliation, the congregational study guide for the Legacy of Slavery Task Force Report.
Learn more and register online by January 8. For more information, contact Diane Shalda by email or phone (815-867-6721).
The workshop is an excellent opportunity for individuals & institutional leaders responsible for diversity or social justice. Using a variety of interactive tools, it explores the historical development of institutional racism and its continuing impact. Participants will also be introduced to strategic methods to dismantle systemic racism.
In the Fall of 2019, CCD Weekends will be offered for Year B. The series of four weekends spread throughout the 2019-2020 program year will be equivalent to the summer week-long residential training. Year A is not required prior to taking Year B. The weekend series is a great opportunity for lay teams, along with their clergy, to take the CCD training. Lay teams may take the training on their own if their clergy have participated in the week-long summer session.
Participants must commit to attending all four seminars to receive credit for the Year B program.
