Conversations About Race
January – February 2020
Please join participants from across the Pittsburgh District who will be meeting in January and February 2020 to discuss challenging issues about race and racism.
In light of the current environment across the country, it is incredibly important that we have conversations about these topics in our communities of faith.
Participants are asked to attend four meetings, one each week. Since all three meeting locations will cover the same topics each week, attendees should feel free to choose any locations.
