We invite you to join us in February as we honor Black History Month by reading and discussing The Color of Compromise by Dr. Jemar Tisby. Led by Nancy Koplowitz and Gayle St. John, we will learn the ways throughout history that the American church has reinforced unjust theories of racial superiority and inferiority, and the action needed to reconcile and forge a future of equity and justice. Sign up below so that we can send you reading details and discussion questions!

Details: Feb. 6, 13, and 20th from 7-8:30pm in Room 209 (scroll down to sign up!)

More about the book and Dr. Jemar Tisby: The Color of Compromise is not a call to shame or a platform to blame. It is a call from a place of love and desire to fight for a more racially unified church that no longer compromises what the Bible teaches about human dignity and equality. A call that challenges black and white Christians alike to stand up now and begin implementing concrete ways we can create a more equitable and inclusive environment among God’s people.
