40 Days of Engagement on Anti-Racism

The 40 Days of Engagement on Anti-Racism relaunched in 2022 with brand-new content.

People from across the church participated in the 40 Days from October 11 to November 25, 2022. Others have shared plans to engage with the content during the season after Epiphany, and still more are planning to engage during the Lenten season. This series is for any time of year!

The 40 Days of Engagement on Anti-Racism offers opportunities to delve deeply into anti-racism work:

• Daily written stories on a range of anti-racism themes (with the exceptions of Sundays). Each day’s content has opportunities for learning, reflection, and action.
• Videos of events, with recordings on YouTube.
• A newsletter, which ran weekly in the fall of 2022, and which will be offered occasionally in 2023.

"Our congregation discussed the 40 Days program, and so many great, appreciative comments and learnings were shared. Implicit bias was an important learning that many commented on. We appreciate all the contributions and are delighted each day with new insights, prayers, and activities. Thank you!"
