Adult Sunday School Class On Reparations

Please join us for a book study of Reparations: A Christian Call to Repentance and Repair by Duke Kwon and Gregory Thompson.

This hybrid class will meet in the church parlor and will be available through Zoom on March 17th, March 24th, April 7th, and April 14th. All classes will begin at 9:30 a.m. and will be facilitated by Mary Pat Brennan and John Peacock.

This book is available from the Baker Publishing Group website.

Here are some sample reviews:

“What hope do we have of racial reconciliation unless we right the wrongs of the past? Kwon and Thompson have argued convincingly that reparations is a necessary part of the healing of the churches and our nation, and that people of faith should be leading the way. Read this book and learn how to be a bridge builder for reparations.”

– Latasha Morrison, founder of Be the Bridge and NY Times Best-selling author

“In love, the authors direct the White American church to tell the truth to itself and its complicity in and endorsement of racism at the expense of their Black brothers and sisters in Christ. Wrestle with this book alone or in small groups, but don’t call it quits. Let the book’s inevitable discomfort lead to growth, understanding, and the beauty of repentance.”

– Christina Edmondson, cohost of the Truth’s Table podcast

 

A week-by-week outline of the class is available.
