Stories of racial injustice fill our news feeds. Yet for too long many of us in the church have been hesitant to speak up and give voice to addressing racism in its many forms. In Lamenting Racism, a team of leading pastors and theologians come together to lay the groundwork for important conversations about racism in your congregation. Through their conversations in six thought-provoking videos, they name that God's people of every race are called to confront racism in every way possible. You can purchase these sessions, as well the participant and leaders guides, by visiting commonword.ca/go/2247.
