The congregational racial audit training will help congregations engage in self-examination, as they “conduct courageous conversations on race.” Such conversations must involve relationship-building to help leaders recognize and reveal to their congregations where they are on the journey toward racial awareness, justice and reconciliation, as they pursue the ideal of becoming “the Beloved Community.”
This workshop will help attendees discern if their congregation is ready to undertake a racial audit. It will explore ways of doing an audit and the challenges of following it up with action, based on one congregation’s experience of planning, conducting, and “making meaning of a congregational racial reflective audit.”
