SEPA Announcements
NEW! The Anti-Racism Team invites you to celebrate Black History Month.
Below are book suggestions that you can use for a book study in your congregation. These books have been vetted by members of the team, and we hope that you will have one of them of interest. And don’t think that you have to wait for your pastor or Christian Educators to start this. If you have a heart for racial justice that’s all that’s needed to call people together for this study.
Book suggestions:
John Fugelsang, Separation of Church and Hate
Jemar Tisby, How to Fight Racism
