Responding to Racial Injustice with Ann
Here at The TABLE, we’re continuing to create space to amplify Black voices. We’re making room for Black folks to express & explore their emotions in response to racial injustice. In Galatians 6, we are called to love each other by carrying each others’ burdens: let’s exemplify this by first listening to and learning from the emotional burden our Black brothers and sisters bear daily.
This #thirdthursday, the lovely Ann Quaicoe is urging us to “take a step back” and think critically about how our faith calls us to respond to hurt and injustice. Grab your seat at The TABLE (and maybe a fresh box of tissues).
Just a gentle reminder: today you’ll be hearing only one story that is unique to Ann. Hear her words, hear her stories, and let’s grow together. We encourage you to use this conversation to further engage with your Black brother and sisters.
