The Anti-Racism Commission's anti-racism training series is facilitated by Lailah Dunbar-Keeys and designed to help participants understand the historic creation, preservation, and personal and institutional effects of a society built upon ideas of racial difference, which in turn support an unjust, racially based hierarchy. The series repeats annually, and offers the Introduction to Systemic Racism training 3 times a year.
This training explores the multi-layered manifestations of prejudice, privilege, race, and systemic racism.
All anti-racism trainings are from 9 am to noon on Zoom. Fee: $20. Scholarships are available, especially for postulants and candidates for ordination. Email arc@diopa.org. Anti-racism trainings are mandatory for clergy and open to all. Completion of all 5 trainings over 2 years meets the initial clergy requirement for anti-racism education. Email arc@diopa.org to obtain a certificate of completion.
