What Is Critical Race Theory?

Or Shall The Fundamentalists Win?

As America struggles to reckon with its legacy of racial inequality,

Critical Race Theory has become a flashpoint for controversy.

Amid the noise emanating from Fox News and certain right-wing

politicians, the signal has been lost.

What is CRT, and can it help us walk with greater clarity,

intention, and purpose toward M.L. King's long deferred

Dream of justice and opportunity for all?

Sunday, January 23rd

Mary Ocken, Pulpit Guest

Listening to Our Call - Living Our Covenant

When we act from our Higher Purpose in a well-intentioned
