White Awake: Developing a Discipleship Framework for Awakening to and Confronting the System of Race
When it comes to the biblical call for reconciliation, white Christians in particular often feel lots of confusion. When we look at other groups of color, we see them as having culture. But when it comes to our own we often feel a sense of void. And when it comes to leading communities of faith, it often feels unclear as to what it means to build disciples that can understand and respond to the impact of race in both society, as well as within their own sense of cultural identity development.
This workshop will equip you to develop:
- A common language and theology for naming and confronting the system of race;
- An understanding of the intersection of sociology, history, and theology as it shapes our corporate response to the construct of race;
- A discipleship framework for the purposes of forming agents of reconciliation;
- A framework for considering personal, communal, and systemic transformation; and
- A framework for white cultural identity development.
Pastors who register and attend the workshop will receive a free copy of Hill's book, White Awake: An Honest Look at What It Means to Be White. We encourage teams of two-three people from churches to attend.
