Clinical psychologist, social justice advocate, and author Dr. Roxy Manning will be with us in worship on Sun., March 17, to discuss her book, “How to Have Antiracist Conversations: Embracing Our Full Humanity to Challenge White Supremacy” and its companion text, “The Antiracist Heart: A Self-Compassion and Activism Handbook.” Dr. Manning will be interviewed by Rev. Dr. Kelly Colwell during the sermon moment and will also offer us a Learning Hour at 11:45 am in Loper Chapel.
Join us as we explore together a groundbreaking approach to fighting racism and white supremacy culture through compassionate yet fierce dialogue, inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King’s Beloved Community. Dr. Manning provides practical tools and frameworks that foster connection and courage, reimagining antiracist conversations. Books will be available for purchase.
