Description
The health and wellbeing of our racialized society remains significantly fractured. Radical truth-telling and repair, led by frontline Christian practitioners, is an integral way forward toward the beloved community. The US has funded and overseen reconciliation and healing commissions in over 40 countries, across 4 continents, while the US has yet to benefit from this type of structural support. Without truth there can be no hope of repair.
This workshop will help build context by providing participants with: historical and policy background of South Africa’s TRC efforts and US AID’s global efforts outside the US, foundational, theological teaching on truth-telling and repair, practical steps to take to move these practices forward in local contexts, all while connecting that work with both national & grassroots efforts, affording the most significant, systemic impact for societal change and wellbeing.
