In a world increasingly divided by race and power, our call as followers of Christ is to embody a radical love that ensures every child of God has a place at the center of the table. Join us for a 90 - minute introductory webinar, "Decentering Whiteness: Our Journey Together," where we will explore what it means to shift our church's focus away from dominant white cultural norms and toward a more inclusive, multiracial future. Using the robust resources and the three-level framework provided by the Southwest Conference UCC in its website, we will learn how to build a shared vocabulary, distinguish between racial justice and cultural decentering of whiteness, and move from foundational education into meaningful, visible action.

This interactive session is designed for both clergy and lay leaders who are ready to ask the "hard questions" in a spirit of grace and humility. Through thoughtful small group reflections and a guided tour of the SWC Resource Hub - featuring everything from the Seeing White podcast to practical guides for worship - you will leave with a clear roadmap for starting this pilgrimage in your own congregation. Whether your church is just beginning to talk about race or is ready to confront deep - seated institutional habits, this webinar offers the tools and community support needed to align our local ministries with God’s vision of justice and reconciliation.
