Course information
What is Amazing GRACE? This is a learning community committed to understanding:
The problem of racism
The experiences of those who experience racism
The privilege of those who do not
The ways racism undermines the mission and ministry of the church
It is a learning community committed to taking intentional action – in whatever way is appropriate to each member’s circumstances – to promote race equality in our personal and ministerial contexts.
Why is it needed? The vision given in Revelation 7:9 is of people of every nation, tribe, people and language worshipping God together, yet this vision is far from fulfilled in the life of the church today. However, the sin of racism can prevent the full and equal flourishing of God’s children and barriers exist for people of colour which are invisible to their white church family. It is the responsibility of the whole people of God to tackle this injustice. This learning community aims to be a supportive yet challenging space where participants can reflect on racism through engagement with Scripture, resources and stories, then work together to identify ways that we can act for race equality in our different contexts.
Who can join? We are inviting clergy and recognised lay leaders to participate.
