ONE THING for Racial Justice: Sunday, June 28

CtK’s leadership has committed to becoming anti-racist as a congregation, confronting white privilege and systemic injustice within and around us. This weekend, we, want to lift up one thing to read, one place you can donate, and one concrete action you can take in this effort. Links to these will can be found below.
  • One thing you can read: “A very helpful article for those seeking to be allies for racial justice:
    “For Our White Friends Desiring to be Allies,” by Courtney Ariel, Sojourners magazine. 
  • One place you can donate: Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, in the Longfellow neighborhood in Minneapolis, continues to serve as a distribution point for groceries and household items, as well as a hub for community organizing and education. They are working with Second harvest food bank and so monetary donations will be converted into lots of food for our neighbors.
  • One concrete action you can take this week is to consider joining a CtK discussion group using the ELCA resource: “Dialogue on Race,” this group will be convening from mid-July through the end of August on Monday nights at 7 pm to look at issues of racism together. Email Pr Peter here to sign up--besure to include your name and contact info! 
Friends, just like COVID-19, confronting racism is a marathon not a sprint. But as Pr John has pointed out, this race has already started, and we need to keep on going. We hope that providing these three items each week can help us each find a place to begin or a way to continue and  sustain this important work.
