In light of racial tensions in this country and around the world, the theme of Embracing Diversity seems even more relevant and important. Learning, listening, and acknowledging our role in perpetuating stereotypes and racist systems is an important part of how we make real our core value of celebrating God’s gift of diversity.
In that spirit, as part of living into our Focus Area, we, your Regional Moderator Team, invite and challenge you to engage your congregations in a study around diversity during the month of September leading up to the Reconciliation Offering held on Sept. 25 and October 2 and we invite you to share stories of what your congregation has done/is doing that can be lifted up and celebrated in the October Northwest Passage.
