Since January, so much has happened in our world, in our country, and in our local contexts. COVID-19 disrupted our lives and demonstrated our vulnerabilities as religious communities. We were shaken to our core with the murder Breonna Taylor and the murder of George Floyd recorded for all to see. The issue of systemic racism in our country was on full display at the expense of a dying black man crying out for breath and for his mother.
En un boletín informativo de Giving Voice anterior, anunciamos que el Encuentro de inclusión y diversidad de Giving Voice de octubre sería un evento híbrido con reuniones presenciales y virtuales. Después de reflexionar al respecto, el equipo de planificación decidió convertirlo en una reunión enteramente virtual dirigida por la Dra. Lisa Summerour. Esta será la primera de dos sesiones; la segunda tendrá lugar en 2021.
In an earlier Giving Voice newsletter, we announce that Giving Voice’s October Cultural Diversity and Inclusion Encuentro would be a hybrid of in-person and virtual meeting. After further reflection, the planning team decided to have an entirely virtual meeting this October, hosted by Dr. Lisa Summerour. This meeting will be the first of two sessions, the second of which will be held in 2021.
