During the month of September let us explore what it means to be anti-racist.  The United Methodist General Council on Religion and Race is a good place to start.  Go to www.gcorr.org to find expanded resources.  Attached is a calendar that will help us participate in the 30 Days of Anti-Racism challenge.
​
From www.gcorr.org, here is the story behind the 30 Days of Anti-Racism challenge.  

Campus minister Morgan Stafford has committed himself to live an anti-racist faith and life. “As a white man, I have learned that I’ve benefitted from racism, while people of color have been harmed. I believe that white Christians must take the lead to confront and dismantle racism. It’s our job.”
​
To focus and make tangible his beliefs, Morgan spent the month of June doing at least one thing every day to listen to, learn from, do, and become more anti-racist, reporting his progress via social media. We at GCORR liked the idea and reached out to Morgan to share his story, what he accomplished, and how it’s changed and enhanced his spiritual growth and his work with young people.

As a result, GCORR invites white allies (and others) to spend the month of September doing #30DaysAntiRacism. Please post photos of your activities using #30DaysAntiRacism and encourage your friends, members of your congregation, Sunday school class, pastors, and community partners to join this 30 day.
