Tonight, Cynthia Parker will present “Race Talk” at an intercultural dialogue co-hosted by Fire, Grace Chapel’s young adult ministry. Parker explores racism through key moments of personal and professional insight.

Thursday, May 26, 2016, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Grace Chapel: 59 WORTHEN RD., LEXINGTON, MA US 02421

Courtyard Room, Main Building

“There are many useful guidelines for productive race talk,” Parker says, and many practical tips are included in the talk. Yet even with best practices, some moments of race talk do harm or feel unresolved. Parker shares her personal tips for connecting with her faith, and her faith in humanity, to continue moving forward with love.

 

She will be one of three speakers tonight at Grace Chapel, followed by round-table discussions unpacking some of the content and going deeper in our dialogue on racism, systemic injustice, bridge-building, and reconciliation.

Presenters:

-Bryan Wilkerson, Senior Pastor at Grace Chapel

-Cynthia Parker, Senior Associate at Interaction Institute for Social Change, and a member of Grace Chapel Watertown campus

-Sarah Shin, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship
