The Antiracism Commission of the Diocese (ARC) has partnered with Crossroads to offer a robust antiracism training at a diocesan-subsidized rate. From Thursday, June 8 to Saturday, June 10, Crossroads will host a training titled From White Supremacy Toward Liberation: Building Shared Analysis to Transform Institutions at St. Paul & the Redeemer in Hyde Park. This three-day intensive, an update of the former “Analyzing and Understanding Systemic Racism” 2.5 day workshop, is designed to empower and equip participants with the tools to dismantle racism and create a more inclusive society.

This training fulfills the diocesan requirements for clergy and church leadership, and is open to anyone in the diocese interested in antiracism work. Participants will engage in discussions and immersive learning exercises that will challenge perspectives and deepen understanding of the issues of racism and White supremacy in their congregations and beyond. To make this training accessible for all members of the Diocese of Chicago, ARC has partnered with Crossroads and the diocese to offer it at a subsidized rate of $125 – a fraction of the actual cost.

How to Register at the Subsidized Rate:

Register online at the Crossroads site, select the text under the training title that says “Do you have an access code?” (highlighted in red here) and enter the code EDOC450. Then fill out the registration form, and when you reach the payment page, select “pay by check.”

Do not input any of your own or your church’s payment information when registering. The workshop fees will be billed directly to the diocese, and a member from ARC will follow up with all registered participants to collect the $125. 

If you have any questions about the training or registration, please contact Lucas Sweitzer.
