Parent/Caregiver Conversations: “How to Raise an Antiracist”

Sunday, Nov. 6, 1–2:30 p.m. in the Cummins Room; Thursdays, Nov. 17 and Dec. 1, 7–8 p.m. on Zoom
Registration required

The tragedies and reckonings around racism that are rocking the country have created a specific crisis for parents and caregivers: How do we talk to our children about racism? How do we teach children to be antiracist? How are kids at different ages experiencing race? How are racist structures impacting children? How can we inspire our children to avoid our mistakes, to be better, to make the world better? We’ll begin by watching a short interview with author Ibram X. Kendi, then break out into groups based on our kids’ developmental stages and our racial identities for guided conversation. Those attending the workshop will be invited to read the book after we meet, and join two optional follow up discussions on Zoom. Book available to borrow or purchase in advance at church. Facilitated by Lauren Wyeth, Director of Spiritual Growth for All Ages
