This four-part conversation circle discussed Nice Racism: How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm by Robin Di Angelo. In a spirit of humility and faith, the series engaged in conversation and spiritual practice which challenged and enlightened participants’ consciousness while examining the dissemination of suppressed and inherent racist patterns exercised daily by well-intentioned people. During each two-hour circle, the circle collectively and individually explored aspects of Di Angelo’s claim, white progressives cause the most daily harm to people of color. Through a lens of compassion and integrity, the conversation yielded greater understanding of the influence systemic racism has on personality formation and its collective consequence. Together, we built and grew as a faith community striving towards racial equity.
Each circle included time for prayer, reflection, and virtual roundtable conversation in small, large and/or affinity groups.
