THE WORK OF THE CHURCH
The Center for Racial Healing exists to be a resource throughout the Episcopal Church, and beyond, in our work to heal from racism. The work, by its very nature, must be collaborative. Tell us what your parish or diocese is doing. We want to serve as a clearinghouse for ideas and suggestions for healing racism.

Following our Diocesan Conference, Fifty Five Years Later: Becoming the Beloved Community in Mississippi, in May, members at Trinity Episcopal Church in Hattiesburg began meeting monthly to build relationships through sharing our stories and discussing various books and videos.
The group circle is widening through local friendships and word of mouth.
This week we will meet and discuss The Hate U Give by Mississippi writer, Angie Thomas. We are also discussing a group trip to the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in Jackson sometime soon.

Our participation in a Dismantling Racism workshop in the fall of 2016 started us on the journey that became ONE Harris County, a service organization geared toward acknowledging historic, racially based wrongs and facilitating people listening to and learning from one another.. Our goal is relationship building leading to opening up more opportunities for all citizens in our county. The 4 links below are to a memorial we held last weekend for 1947 lynching victim, Henry "Peg" Gilbert.
We are following up with our second Racial Trust Building Training this summer.
