Confronting the Past, Looking to the Future: The church’s role in creating systemic racism and what can be done about it

 Overview of systemic issues faced by those living below the line 

 This interactive, experiential workshop will provide participants with a foundational understanding of the influence of religious interpretations and practices on concepts of race, culture, class, ethnicity, immigration, sexual orientation and gender in the assessment and interventional decisions relative to place and space when interacting with populations representing these categories. From a systemic models perspective, participants will explore the role and influence of the “Church” on cultural and social issues and its intersections with other human identifiers, such as poverty, housing, genders, abilities, and their many intersections. The consciousness of ethnic identity will also be explored as well as the influence of church doctrines on social, governmental and non-governmental systems. The workshop will challenge Western - European ethnocentrism and question movements which suggest that "God is a white supremacist". The effects of this suggestion not only on an individual’s self-perception, but on the perceptions and interactions of others relative to such individuals, will also be explored. 

 This workshop will be led by Dr. Myrna Lashley

Children's Ministry Matters...

We know how challenging it has been to deliver children's ministry during the pandemic. We continue to pray, plan and try to predict what things will look like post pandemic.

  • What have you been doing?

  • What are you planning to do?

  • Do you have questions about restrictions, guidelines and what is permitted.

If you would like some help navigating the nuances of children's ministry in your unique context in the Diocese of Montreal, you may contact Executive Archdeacon Robert Camara vicar.general@montreal.anglican.ca
