Grace-Led Approaches to Anti-Racism

Description

Few topics are as historically, emotionally, spiritually, and systemically loaded as racism. Over and over in history, ethnic and racial prejudice does not just give rise to verbal and physical violence but becomes entrenched over generations through economic exploitation, class warfare, and nationalism. So much of today's discourse on this topic—from both ends of the political spectrum—lacks the resources of empathy, optimism, and grace. These patterns can leave us hopeless that there could ever be progress in our wounded communities and relationships.

We’re interested in ventures that are pushing back on these difficult realities with creativity and hope, starting with relationally confronting and reframing exploitative narratives of domination and supremacy, and pursuing more equitable outcomes for all. These endeavors create cross-cultural journeys of learning and love that redraw the boundaries we have inherited from our broken past.
