Contemplative Conversations around Faith and Racism

For four Monday evenings bridging October and November, JCMI will be offering opportunities to have contemplative conversations around the intersection of faith and racism.

Each week, we will have a different documentary or movie for participants to take in the week prior to our virtual gathering. There will be prompts provided to stir your thoughts and feelings and prepare you for our contemplative discussions (not debates). These are vitally important moments as we look at our whole selves in the midst of the whole world in which we live.

JCMI’s Jennifer Andersson welcomes a new co-host each time as we hold space for reflection and stirrings.

These virtual gatherings will be held from 7:30-9:00pm EST
