Anti-Racism Training

St Pauls is one of the diocese’s “Intercultural Worshipping Communities.” As such, it is vitally important that we should be welcoming to those of all backgrounds. To help recognise our innate prejudices Suzanne Hanson, an enabler from the Diocese of Leicester held a zoom training session today. This was particularly for those on the Parochial Church Council although others were welcome. About 20 attended. Suzanne introduced us to many of the terms found in such consideration, from “white supremacy” to “intersectional.” She gave much historical background with individual scenarios and challenged our responses. There will be another session next week. 

    May we be helped to show God’s love and welcome.
