First Monday's

We are excited to change up our First Monday's for 2022!
This year we will shift to a book a month discussion time...
Our hope is to provide a place to learn and grow together through great conversations.  All of our books will be chosen based on how they include the topics of racism, justice, faith and hope.

Our book is: "So you want to talk about race...." 
by Ijeoma Oluo

 

That was a wonderful read!  I (Debbie) am working on a blog post with my takeaways from the book and our discussion this past Monday.  To read the blog click on the button....  

Our March book is "White Awake" by Daniel Hill. 

​

"We must wake up to the ways that the narrative of racial difference played a major role in identity formation in the early days of our country, and to the ways it continues to play a dominant role in our sense of identity here and now.  One of the primary issues we must face, especially in this socio-political climate, is the need for white people to do the hard work of wrestling with what it really means to be white.... The narrative of racial difference does not land solely on people of color.  The narrative of racial difference has also profoundly affected white people.  But unlike people of color, most white people remain completely unaware of the ways this narrative has affected their sense of identity."
