The Mission, Outreach, and Evangelism Board is pleased to announce the launch of an Anti-Racism Book Group to help foster deeper understanding of where we are, how we got here, and how we can do better. We will be reading and discussing anti-racist biographies, fiction, and analyses, beginning with Ijeoma Oluo’s SO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT RACE. Join us via Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89553869119 on Sunday, July 26, at 11:30 am for the first of our meetings. Our full book list will be posted online; we hope you’ll join us for any of the books you want to discuss. If you have any questions, please contact Joy Carletti.
