Troubling the Waters
for Healing of the Church
Troubling the Waters for Healing of the Church is a resource that is
developed specifically for White congregational members and others to
help them understand the role that White privilege and internalized
White superiority has had in shaping their own attitudes, belief
systems, cultures and those of the church and society at large. This
resource has been designed by White people for White people to equip
them with tools that will aid them in addressing and breaking the cycle
of socialization that perpetuates racism and sustains an exclusive
church. The resource will help White congregational members or groups to
embark on a journey of learning from one another as well as from people
of color who may enter the river of conversations with them as time goes
on. The resource is broken down into 18 sessions starting with the
Advent season and ending with Pentecost.

Even
the Stones Will Cry Out for Justice: An Adult Forum on Institutionalized
Racism
A powerful new resource for congregations who
want to reach out to and embrace people of all races, cultures, and
ethnic backgrounds. This resource provides biblical illustrations of
how racism separates us form what God calls us to be: challenges and
stimulates with questions, vignettes, and discussion topics; and
encourages change as members challenge the obstacles racism
presents. Recognizing racism is the first step to abolishing it.
Even the Stones Will Cry Out for Justice contains everything leaders
need to conduct a three or five session Bible study or a one-day
retreat.
