Resurrection Hope Unpacked

This February, join the Racial Justice and Healing Committee for a three week book study on Resurrection Hope: A Future Where Black Lives Matter by the Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas.

In this book, Dr. Douglas reflects on how a “white way of knowing” has come to dominate American identity and even to shape the consciousness of Christians.

Meetings will be held on Mondays February 2, 9, and 16 from 6 to 8 p.m. on Zoom and discussion will be led by members of the Racial Justice and Healing Committee. Each session will be focused on different chapters of the book:

• February 2: Chapters 1 & 2
• February 9: Chapters 3 & 4
• February 16: Chapter 5 & The Afterward

Additionally, Dr. Douglas will be in attendance during the February 9 meeting for participants to ask questions and engage with her during the discussion.

Copies of the book may be purchased directly from the publisher or on Bookshop.org.

You do not need to attend every session to participate, but registration is required. Register online.

Note, Zoom links will be distributed to registrants ahead of the first meeting on February 2.

Clergy and lay leaders are encouraged to share this event with their congregations using the provided promotional materials including a poster and bulletin insert. Download the promotional materials.

This study is being held during Black History Month. Taking place every February, Black History Month honors and celebrates Black history and culture in the United States and across the globe. Learn more about Black History Month.
