About this Event

The Anti-Racism Commission of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania is offering racial healing circles facilitated by

Grounded in historical, cultural, sociological, and spiritual understanding, racial healing circles will provide a safe space for small groups of like-minded people to share their stories about the challenging realities of systemic racism.

In our current cultural climate with sweeping legislation that undermines centuries of Civil Rights policies, and social justice practices, many people find themselves grasping for meaning. With the support of the circle facilitator, participants will be provided the tools to listen, reflect, and gain understanding.

This racial healing circle is for an African American affinity group (i.e., people who identify as African American). We will convene a multicultural healing circle in the future.

Questions you may be asked to consider are:

  • What does it mean to be Black today?
  • How do you navigate systemic racism in our current cultural climate?
  • How does your faith support you in overcoming these challenges?

For questions about ARC's racial healing circles, please email ARC co-chair The Rev. Barbara Ballenger at [email protected].
