Our Call Is To Love And Serve
The Metropolitan Interfaith Council on Affordable Housing (MICAH) invites you to their virtual Housing Bus Tour on December 2 from 9-10:30am. This is a great opportunity to connect with and learn from local community members, elected officials, city staff, and those experiencing homelessness and housing crises.
No registration required. Simply click to join the Zoom link at 9am on Dec. 2nd.
See the flyer below for more details!
Becoming Human is a project of the Racial Justice Initiative at the University of St. Thomas in partnership with the College of Arts and Sciences and the Basilica of Mary. They have developed the course for wider use through an online platform, and Risen Savior is able to offer the series free of charge due to the generosity of the Becoming Human team.
The theory behind this series is that the racial history we inherit is dehumanizing for all us, though it is dehumanizing for white folks in different ways than for people of color. The only way to “become human” is to confront the legacy of white supremacy and to be open to undergoing a process of transformation, to engage more humanely in the world, especially across the color line.
There are 7 modules to this series, each of which includes a Welcome, Recorded Presentation, Activity, and Reflection. Please register by filling out the form at the bottom of this page. Registration closes on December 29th. Participants who sign up through Risen Savior are encouraged to complete the module on their own ahead of time and join a weekly discussion group to process the materials together. Discussion groups will be held Tuesdays January 5th-February 16th (7:30-8:30p.m.) and Wednesdays January 6th-February 17th (3-4p.m.). If you prefer to watch the presentation with the group, you can do so Tuesdays, January 5th-February 16th prior to the discussion group (5:30-7p.m.). View the full course description here.
