Upcoming Events
1) Set Free is a seminar being offered by MCC US Anti-Racism Program on
April
4-6, 2003 in Dallas, TX. Set Free is a journey toward wholenes through a
liberative process from internalized racist oppression for people of color.
Internalized Racist Oppression is the belief in the myth of racial
inferiority
propagated through socialization of people of color by individuals,
institutions
and systems. By tracing our collective histories and analysis of our
current
condition we will explore how we started on a journey toward destruction.
Set
free is a journey that leads toward healing and wholeness. There will be a
second Set Free this fall October 10-12; location to be announced.

2) Fire and Clay is a retreat designed for white anti-racists who have had
the
2-1/2 day Damascus Road Antiracism Analysis Training. Participants will be
invited into deeper understanding of our role as white people within a
racist
society. We will be grappling with the issues specific to white anti
racists
including internalized racist superiority, white privilege, accountability
to
people of color and more. Recognizing that racism is a controversial and
painful
issue, this retreat has been designed to include delicate balance of
challenge
and nurture, as well as group time and individual reflection. We will rely
on
biblical teachings, Anabaptist theology, community discernment and movement
of
the holy spirit to guide our time together.
