Bend Toward Justice
March 2 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Steps toward Beloved Community through a learning conversation on race and the church.
Martin Luther King Jr. said the arc of the moral universe is long and it bends toward justice. If that’s true, then sometimes it’s helpful and necessary to survey the landscape to see where we are now as United Methodist Churches so we know what steps to take next.
The United Against Racism Team of Wake Forest UMC and Village Church Rolesville invites clergy and laity of the Heritage and Capital Districts to a time of learning and conversation around the next steps God is calling local United Methodist Churches to take to deepen their commitment to racial justice and beloved community.
On March 2, we will hear the wise voices of Rev. Alma Tinoco-Ruiz, Rev. Justin Coleman, and Austin Holland share why they are United Methodists, their experiences as clergy and staff of color in the UMC, and what they see as opportunities for our local churches to take practical steps toward justice and beloved community.
Participants will also gather at a table with others to discuss, share, and learn together. The goal is that everyone who comes will leave with one practical next step they and their church small group might take to follow Jesus while being committed to a diverse and justice-seeking church.
