The Church's Response to Institutionalized Racism
Registration has already begun for the Presbytery of Baltimore's 873

Gathering entitled "The Church's Response to Institutional Racism." This annual day of learning for Presbyterians, which is featured in conjunction with the fall Gathering, will be held 9am to 4pm on Saturday, Nov. 12, 2016 at the First Presbyterian Church of Annapolis, 171 Duke of Gloucester Street.

Rev. Roberts

The Rev. Dr. Paul Roberts, President of Johnson C. Smith Theological Seminary in Atlanta, GA. Rev. Roberts will draw from Christ's
Sermon on the Mount to address the Church and non-violent direct action. Later, he will facilitate a workshop using the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from a Birmingham Jail as the centerpiece of a discussion on race. The second keynote speaker will be The Rev. Dr. Debra J. Mumford, a professor of Homiletics at Louisville

Rev. Mumford
|
Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY. In her speech "Teach. Discuss. Act," Rev. Mumford will argue that the church must initially understand the "evolution of the racialized ideology" of institutionalized racism before it can develop a strategy to respond to it. She will also facilitate a workshop focused on developing strategies to eradicate racism in and outside of the church.
Other workshops offered during the event include discussions about church stewardship; poverty issues and the HIV population; and, building faith partnerships, such as the relationships developed at the Pejuhutazizi Learning Camp. Another workshop will provide an overview of the Presbyterian Women's new study, "Who is Jesus: What a Difference a Lens Makes." In addition, presbytery members convened for church business will vote on the Presbytery's 2017 budget and a new Administrative Leave Policy.
Brochures about the 873
rd
Gathering, The Church's Response to Institutionalized Racism, were mailed last week to churches for distribution among their members. More information, including instruction on how to place an order for a gathering meal, select a workshop or find the best route to drive to Annapolis on the day of the event can be found on the Presbytery website by clicking Gathering.
