Race and Faith Thursday, September 19th at 7:00 PM Talking about race relations is hard. Finding a safe place to talk about race is even harder. Though the obstacles can be great, discussing race is perhaps one of the most important discussions that we should be having as a modern American society.
Additionally, faith communities have a special bond and a special way of looking at the world. Because of the importance of race and because of our connection to one another as faith communities, the Interfaith Council of Yorktown in connection with Race Amity is putting together a special multi-evening series to help the faith communities of Westchester dialogue about this important topic. Each evening will explore a different aspect of race. Any friend of yours who is connected to a church, mosque, synagogue or other house of worship is invited to attend these sessions. Each night will not only be facilitated by clergy but will also be facilitated by professionals who have a deep understanding of race and its effects on our society. Come be a part of this extremely meaningful series. For more information or to RSVP for the first session, clickhere. _____________
