Antiracism challenge encouraged for the month of September

The United Methodist Commission on Religion and Race is holding a “30 Days of Antiracism” challenge for the month of September. Each day, participants are encouraged to engage in an activity that helps them to become more antiracist in the ways they think and act. 
 
Rev. Abra Lattany-Reed, Conference Director of  Diversity and Justice Ministries, encourages South Georgia laity and clergy to join the challenge. 
 
“Racial justice issues are front and center within the marketplace and impact the church,” said Rev. Lattany-Reed. “This 30 days of antiracism challenge is a reflective way to not only understand the mandate of God’s divine love for all humanity, but will build capacity by promoting the promises and emerging practices that reinforce a more just and compassionate society.” 
 
The agency has created a free, downloadable calendar with suggested antiracism activities for each day of the challenge. 
 
“GCORR has so many resources to help individuals assess and grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ,” said Rev. Lattany-Reed. “This challenge is essential to that development. Join in and participate and share your challenge experience with us at the Office of Connectional Ministries.”
