The sacred conversation on race that I attended this morning was enjoyable. The most heartening part of it was the leadership of Kaji Spellman. Articulate, spiritual, clearly intelligent. And able to re-gather and direct us even when one of the participants fell and needed medical attention. I’m not sure any transformation is possible in one morning but it was a piece of consciousness raising to have someone suggest that we needed to move beyond talking about “race” or “race issues” and have a conversation about racism itself.
This afternoon’s service was invigorating and inspirational. A bit poignant in that it was John Thomas’ last sermon to the General Synod as its General Minister and President, but a good sermon and a good service. Tonight we get to work.
Our committee finished up its work tonight. Yesssssss!
