Diocesan-Wide Forum on Reparations

Tuesday, Oct. 1, 6 p.m. on Zoom

At the diocesan convention in 2023, the convention approved RESOLUTION #4: BECOMING BELOVED COMMUNITY: A PLAN FOR REPARATIONS to hire a coordinator to work towards a definition, framework and plan for reparations to be presented to the diocesan convention in 2024 in the form of a resolution. This forum, co-hosted by the Reparations Task Force and Bishop Rob, is open to all who would like to learn more about the task force's work this year, the resolution that will be presented to convention, and the plan for reparations that is being proposed for further action in the coming years.

This forum will feature a presentation by the task force and reflections from the bishop, with an opportunity for participants to ask questions. It will last 60-90 minutes, depending on the number of attendees and questions.

We expect all delegates to participate and all those interested are welcome. To attend the forum, you must register in advance here to receive a link to the Zoom meeting. Feel free to share the registration link in church publications or with friends, however please do not share the link to the Zoom meeting.
