Racial Justice Devotional
2021-11-07 16:00 - 17:00 UTC
An uplifting, virtual, 30-minute racial justice-focused devotional consisting of prayers, readings and video content, celebrating the vision of the oneness of mankind. Each devotional is followed by a conversation led by individuals dedicated to fostering cross-racial friendships – an essential step toward the elimination of racism. This is a safe, loving space to share and learn about our common humanity. The destiny of mankind is the realization of our collective oneness. Our question then is: “How long will it take to achieve our destiny and how much pain will we experience collectively until we arrive?” This session is held in meeting-style and attendants are encouraged to participate in the conversation.
