SUMMARY:Addressing Anti-Blackness Thread Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Addressing Anti-Blackness in and Beyond Monthly Meetings \nSaturday\, January 23rd\, 2021\, 9:00am – 2:30pm\, VIRTUAL \nCo-hosted with Chestnut Hill Meeting \nThis thread gathering calls us to unlearn and be accountable to our past and present anti-Black ideologies\, institutions\, and behaviors. Knowing that this journey has no finish line\, we bravely and humbly come together to move forward in our journeys with intention to continue to learn and unlearn\, through interrogation\, conversation and understanding in ourselves\, our faith community\, and with each other. \nDisengaging from Comfort or Decentering Comfort \nAs Friends\, we lean on our understanding that we need discomfort to learn to be present during silence\, and this discomfort is a growing relationship with spirit. This discomfort is the same discomfort we are growing with and building a relationship with when we are uprooting oppressive thoughts and behaviors. Racism and white supremacy means some of us are more accustomed to discomfort than others\, as well as that what is comfortable for some is dangerous and violent to others. We invite participants to acknowledge and address that tension and imbalance with us. \nSchedule: \n9:00am Optional worship – led by Chestnut Hill Meeting \n10:00am Introductions & tech review \n10:15am Walking with Anti-Blackness – Oskar Castro \n12:00pm Optional communal lunch \n12:45pm Interrogating and Weeding out Anti-Blackness – Tenaja Henson and Sarah Willie-LeBreton \n2:00pm Resources and Closing \nTo register and read the facilitator bios – click here
