This 40
Days of Engagement on Anti-Racism is an excellent way to delve deeply into
anti-racism work. It will feature new stories daily, with the exception of
Sundays. Each day of engagement will creatively move through a time for
learning, a faith reflection, and offer some suggested response actions. The
individual writings come from diverse writers across the breadth of the United
Church, who all share their knowledge, wisdom, insights, and personal
reflections.
These daily
reflections will be posted on the 40
Days website.
A great
way to explore the daily content with a wider group of people will be join a 40
Days study group! These organized weekly online study sessions will run between
October 16-December 8, and will give everyone a chance to delve even more
deeply into the week’s content. There is no cost to attend these sessions, and
the groups will be offered at the following times:
Study
Groups for Indigenous People
Monday 1-2:30pm
Wednesday 7-8:30pm
Study
Groups for Racialized People
Monday 1-2:30pm
Wednesday 7-8:30pm
Study
Groups for White People
Tuesday 1-2:30pm
Thursday 7-8:30pm
Pour les francophones
le mardi de 13h00 à 14h30 heure de l'Est
le jeudi 19h00 - 20h30 heure de l'Est
Why are
we meeting in separate groups for these sessions? It is because the learning
needs for racialized and Indigenous people are often different from the
learning needs of White people. Because of their lived experiences, racialized
and Indigenous people likely have different day-to-day realities than those of
White peoples.
