Check out these two opportunities in October to engage in Conversations on Antiracism through Pittsburgh Seminary and NEXT Church.
In October, NEXT Church is hosting a 4 week webinar series called “The Challenges of Antiracism: Are We Willing To Stand Where God Stands?” This series will be held Sundays, October 4, 11, 18, and 25 from 4:00-5:30 pm EST.
This series seeks to offer participants language and frameworks they can use to talk about systemic racism and white supremacy in effective and nuanced ways. Each webinar will be led by the amazing Jessica Vazquez Torres and will consist of 60 minutes of presentation and teaching followed by 30 minutes of Q&A. Space is limited, register here!

JESUS CHRIST AND THE ‘DIVIDING WALL’: RACE AND GOD’S MISSION October 7, 14, 21, and 28, 2020, at 7:30 p.m
OVERVIEW
Mission matters. Race matters. Are you or your church looking for resources on how to have deep conversations on race? As our nation continues to grapple with the consequence of racial injustice, we as Christians need to have a truthful conversation with one another on how our understanding of race impact the way we engage in God’s mission. Join us for this virtual McClure Lectures and WMI Month of Mission Series, where we will gather online for four Wednesday evenings to explore issues of racial justice with world-class speakers. This will be an opportunity to connect and learn with people from all over the country. Churches will also be organizing watch parties to gather their members for guided discussion following plenary presentations.
