Two groups of clergywomen hosted this conversation, Clergywomen of Color and White Women Doing the Work (WWDTW) of Antiracism. The invitation for this conversation was open to all clergy women, and a few men joined us as well. Bishops Ward and Easterling talked about the relationship they had developed with each other, and the trust they shared.
