FAITH AND ANTI-RACISM RESOURCES
We believe that peace in this world cannot be truly attained while ignoring or diminishing the reality of suffering and oppression that our neighbors experience.
This is why we lament.
We lament to acknowledge suffering. We lament with the cries out for justice against injustices. We lament because it moves us beyond complacency with the status quo.
Because of this relationship between lament and peace, we cannot choose to ignore the relationship between faith and anti-racism. Recently, we’ve seen many people become curious as to what resources exist that can help bridge that gap, both in our communities and within our very own homes.
Our hope is that these resources can help you lament by following, reading, watching, and listening to the voices of those leading the growing conversation on faith and anti-racism today.
