Discovery: Reflections on Race10am, Trinity Church, Manning Room
Racial differences and structural inequalities in our society can obscure our shared humanity and keep us from seeing God in the face of the other. Yet, as the Rev. Dr. William Lupfer, Trinity’s rector, observes: “We cannot see God without others.” Today: “White Privilege & the Construction of Whiteness.” Videos and readings will stimulate discussion of how the very concept of “being white” not only confers privilege but also, as James Baldwin wrote, comes with a cost: the loss of identity.

Congregational Voice“For he has said, ‘I will never leave you or forsake you.’” (Hebrews 13:5). Jesus’ words are true. Since God called my mother’s name, I have come to know the meaning of being a “motherless child;” (but) she left me with these word-seeds, “put your trust in God.” As I began walking on my own with our Lord Jesus his amazing love and grace has taken me from day to day. My mother left me in great hands! —Donna L. Riley
Prayer RequestsPrayer requests may be found on a separate card printed weekly and located at the back of the churches. To add names to the list, email [email protected].
