Online Adult Religious Education — 30 May 2021

Please join us on Sunday (30 May 2021) at 9:00 AM for our adult religious education class via Zoom.

We will resume our White Fragility book study group with Susan Caldwell and Barbara Deger (using the book by Robin DiAngelo).

This week we will concentrate on Chapter 8 — “The Result: White Fragility.”  We will explore the way that white fragility — by turning the narrative around to portray white people as victimized — can ultimately be a form of bullying.

We will explore ways to recognize and interrupt that response in ourselves and others.
