Equipping the Church to Dismantle White Supremacy

A 5-Part Webinar Series

Please join  for a free webinar series engaging our Lutheran perspective and churchwide ministries around the work of dismantling white supremacy within the church.

This series is offered in partnership with the ELCA Strategy for Authentic Diversity, the Albert “Pete” Pero, Jr. and Cheryl Stewart Pero Center for Intersectionality Studies at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, and the ELCA Association of White Lutherans for Racial Justice.

Across five webinars over the next several months, participants will engage ELCA resources that encourage, equip, and support congregations and synods in the essential work of dismantling white supremacy. The series will elevate voices from across the church who are actively engaging this work and offer both practical and theological grounding.
