trends in lcms church closings
Rev. Chris Paavola (LCMS) reveals how church closings reveal helpful info about how we can start to heal racial divides in our congregations and communities.
RACE + JUSTICE ESSENTIALS is a non-Lutheran resource
that makes for a great starter-guide on everything from
systemic racism to why race is a social construct.
A TIME FOR BURNING is the Oscar-Nominated movie about a Lutheran church
wrestling with race relations during the height of the civil rights movement.
Organize a group of friends to watch the movie and use this guide to lead a
discussion about what the 1960s have to tell us about racial justice today.
Post any insights, plans for action, or your discussion group's pic on social media with the hashtag: #LRJTalks
