What does it look like to name white supremacy within our own denomination and work to dismantle it? How do we move from awareness to action? Join us for an after-worship conversation with Doug Cunningham, retired UMC elder and author of Beyond the White Church: Disrupting Racism, Rebuilding Faith Community.

Invitation: What does reparations mean to you? Two friends, one Black and one white, journey to their Southern ancestral homes, exploring reparations' meaning. Their travels uncover opportunities that transform their bond, communities, reclaiming and reckoning with their roots.
