“We will not cease, and we will not give up until this world reflects less our nightmare and more God’s dream where there’s plenty good room for all God’s children. Hallelujah anyhow.”

Quanita Roberson and Tenneson Woolf will lead a two-day Circle Training for those interested in learning the ancient practice of Circle. In Becoming Beloved Community, we have been practicing circle as a way to deeply connect, listen, and tell the truth. This training will build capacity for the hosting of circle as we continue to invite and include others to follow Jesus as healers, reconcilers, and justice-makers.
The two-day training is April 10 + April 17, from 10-2pm on Zoom. Space is limited. Register here.
Confirmations will be sent with zoom link included. Questions? Contact Amy Howton, ahowton@diosohio.org

From Many One “Listen-In” – Sharing Our Stories and Growing Our Practice
This will be a chance to hear and to share. How is it going? What new insights have the four “From Many, One” questions brought you? What have you learned from your conversation partner(s) that you might not have expected? You will hear experiences from across the Church using From Many, One, and get the chance to discuss and ask questions in small groups.

Founded in 2018, My Work To Do is an online affinity group designed to help white people build stamina for discussing racism, systemic injustice, racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in their everyday lives. Black, Indigenous and People of Color allies are welcome with an understanding this is a white-centered, and therefore not always safe, space.
We invite those feeling lost or overwhelmed into the conversation, especially white people who might not have a local anti-racism program or accessible discussion happening in their life.
