Racial Justice Training for Parish Leaders
Lesson 1 - History or Racial Justice in the Church
From the wealth of the slave trade to the 2020 global wake-up call, this timeline charts Britain’s journey with race. It highlights the Church’s shift from a "cold welcome" to declaring racism a sin, emphasizing that structural change requires moving beyond silence to active, local participation in God's justice.
Lesson 2: Language of Racial Justice
Developing racial justice literacy means moving from "goodwill" to active understanding. We must name systemic racism—bias within institutional rules—and unconscious bias, our hidden prejudices. Grounded in Imago Dei, this vocabulary transforms "tolerance" into a spiritual journey of metanoia, ensuring our parishes become true homes of Gospel-led belonging.
Lesson 3: Action of Racial Justice in the Church
Effective leadership moves from "inclusion" to "belonging". Clergy must proactively diversify leadership, address biased remarks with Gospel-led clarity, and ensure liturgy reflects the universal Church. These practical principles transform the parish from a social club into a sanctuary where every member truly belongs.
