Tell Me the Truth About Racism is a story that frames racism through the lens of Christian faith for children aged 5-12. We, Will Bouvel and Jen Holt Enriquez, built the foundation of this work in Lent 2021 to teach to children at our churches in the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago. Soon thereafter we began training other Christian formation leaders to do this work in their own churches. The training program received a Becoming Beloved Community Grant from the Episcopal Church in July of 2021. So far we’ve walked alongside 21 communities across the United States and Canada so that they can bring the gift of antiracism to their children.
An introductory seminar will be held at St. Andrews Episcopal Church, 306 Division, Ann Arbor, on March 26, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and all who are interested in learning about this teaching resource are invited to attend. The cost per person is $100, and scholarships are available. Click here to register for the seminar on March 26; click here for a 1-page flyer. Please tell Rev. Anne if you plan to attend (scholarships available), and we hope to hear what you learn!
