About this event
DC Unity and Justice Fellowship (DCUJF) is excited to bring another installment of its Faith + Justice series, examining ways Christians are participants in the acts of repairing, restoring and renewing Creation. This event is focused on "Restore."
Shalom as a Decolonizing Worldview will be facilitated by Rev. Dr. Randy Woodley and co-hosted by Little Lights Urban Ministries. Join us in this two-hour interactive workshop where we will:
- Define Shalom from an indigenous perspective
- Contrast this worldview from a Western perspective
- Decolonize your own perspective
- Describe how to be an ally
There will be a time of learning and significant time for Q&A, so come with an open mind and ready with questions!
