DISMANTLING RACISM TRAININGS

All remaining 2023 Dismantling Racism Training classes are full.

 

We are currently working on the 2024 Dismantling Racism Training class schedule. It will be posted once it is finalized. 

​

Dismantling Racism training seeks to increase "racial understanding, healing and reconciliation." It is offered several times throughout the year and is required for all parish clergy and all lay leaders, including vestry members.  Trainings are offered by the Absalom Jones Episcopal Center for Racial Healing.

The training was adjusted in 2012 to "reflect the fruit of several conversations conducted by the Beloved Community: Commission for Dismantling Racism (now the Absalom Jones Center for Racial Healing)," said Dr. Catherine Meeks, executive director of the Center "We re-framed the training in a way that makes the experience a part of the ongoing spiritual formation of the participants."

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
