On May 18th, UCC congregations across our nation were encouraged to engage in conversations about Race. In fact in a recent interview Linda Jaramillo, executive minister of justice and witness ministries for the United Church of Christ , acknowledge that racism is deeply embedded in our past and present.
Many conversations on May 18th focused on race and started us towards the right direction. However, the Joshua Generation feels a calling to lead our beloved denomination in a conversation to take things further. Lets have a conversation on Racism
Written from a variety of different perspectives, the Joshua Generation Leadership Team is in the process of preparing a bible study/devotional handbook for people who want to take the conversation a step further. Written by the next generation for this generation, we will seek to make people aware of subconscious racism, what it feels like to be violated against because of race, unspoken thoughts and so much more. This project is scheduled to be released in January 2009.
If you would like more information on this project or would like to participate (deadline for submissions: November 1, 2008) please e-mail us at JoshuaGenerationlt@gmail.com and we will get this necessary information out to you ASAP.
