The Emerging Ministries Team has been studying the problem of racial disparity in its many forms in Dane County. Next Wednesday they will share news about their pilot program this spring for working with young students in Madison schools. Over the next five weeks the conversations will also include several members of the community who will share their perspectives. Among our goals are to define what we as a congregation can add to the public discussion and what we can do that matters. The provocative companion book to this series is America's Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America, by Jim Wallis.

Copies of Jim Wallis' new book,  America's Original Sin: Racism, White Privilege, and the Bridge to a New America are available for purchase at the Information Desk. The book will supplement the "Of One Blood" Wednesday evening Lenten series, but will be helpful for those not able to participate in the Wednesday night series too.
