“Now is the Time” Study Series Begins August 17

August 3, 2022 by Terri Robertson 2 Comments

We invite you to be with us online on Wednesday evenings beginning August 17 and continuing through September 14, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. PDT/4:00-6:00 p.m. HST for our “Now is the Time” Study Series being facilitated by members of the Pacifica Synod Anti-Racism Team. This study series is for Pacifica Synod rostered leaders and lay persons interested in promoting racial justice within their communities, congregations and throughout the ELCA.

During our time together we’ll journey together in community as we wrestle with the content and meaning of the “Declaration of the ELCA to People of African Descent” and its accompanying explanation which was adopted by the ELCA Churchwide Council in 2019. We will provide tools and resources for participants to lead this study series in their own congregations as they feel comfortable. During our sessions, there will be time for small group conversations and learning.

The “Now is the Time” Study Series and guide provide an avenue for the realization, self-examination and accountability required to “apologize to people of African descent for the [church’s] complicity in slavery and its enduring legacy of racism in the United States and globally.”

Pre-registration HERE is required to receive the Zoom link to join each session. Please invite others to join you!

    Hi Terri, Thank you for the information.
    I completed my registration without any difficulty. Thank you so much for your help.
    Jim said there was some kind of link to last weeks information and possibly a work sheet( ie “home work”) How do I find that information?
    Blessings to you. Hugs, Barb
