Workshop Description
The Diocese of Missouri would like to share resources for understanding and confronting institutional racism.

Dear friends, Just checking in. It has been a busy July and finally back home and settled in. First time I have ever blogged! Not sure this is the way to do it. One more time: The BPG was a truly valuable experience for me. I loved the context of worship throughout the event. I valued meeting people and hearing their stories, personal and about their communities. I appreciate the whole style, logistics, venues, format etc. Thank you, to ALL! I am prayerful that we (within the domain of anti racism work) can progress toward sustainable dialogue that will be valuable for all of us. Utilizing whatever communication vehicle(s)works for us. Right now I am working on phone conversations with people I met. Rev. Heather, thank you for your recent e mail to a group of us. I hope to use that to continue the dialogue. Rev. Matthew, thank you for the Facebook page. Please be patient with me as I am not a social media person. Okay, I am going to hit "SUBMIT" now. Peace and blessings, Tony Corey, Missouri.
