Faith, Race, Gender & Justice
Third Sunday of Every Month at 12:30 p.m.

The work of Faith, Race, Gender, and Justice is to equip all those involved with tools to further advance the work of justice in the Church and in our society. Group discussions center around the collective wisdom and experiences of our church members, cultural thought leaders, artists, activists, and theologians.

Any person is welcome to join FRGJ regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, or
any other identification that may cause one to think they wouldn't be welcome at a church.

Fall and Winter 2022-23

We are exploring the practical and theological imperative to create a community that fosters anti-racist attitudes and actions in children and young people. “Raising Antiracist Children” is written by Britt Hawthorne as an interactive guide for strategically incorporating the tools of inclusivity into everyday life and parenting. Hawthorne breaks down antiracist parenting into four comprehensive sections:

Healthy bodies—Establishing a safe and body-positive home environment to combat stereotypes and create boundaries.

Radical minds—Encouraging children to be agents of change, accompanied by scripts for teaching advocacy, giving and taking productive feedback, and becoming a coconspirator for change.

Conscious shopping—Raising awareness of how local shopping can empower or hinder a community’s ability to thrive and teaching readers of all ages how to create shopping habits that support their values.

Thriving communities—Acknowledging the personal power we have to shape our schools, towns, and worlds, accompanied by exercises for instigating change.

Full of questionnaires, stories, activities, tips, and tools, Raising Antiracist Children is a must-have, practical guide essential for parents and caregivers everywhere.
