SUMMARY:Crucial Hacks to Decolonize Your Church
DESCRIPTION:Season 3\, Episode 4\n\n\n\n\n\nIn recent years\, the term “decolonization” has entered popular vocabulary\, drawing attention to the role of religious organizations in gentrification and the history of colonial oppression. This subject is complex and frequently fraught with contradicting ideas about defining religious ideals\, colonialism\, and its victims. How can congregations uphold their standards while actively combating social injustice? In this New Church Hacks episode\, we unpacked these ideas and: \n\n\n\n\nFocused on anti-racism as an approach to church development and community engagement\n\n\n\nCreated space for conversations and practical ways in which to shape and reshape congregational DNA to reflect anti-racist discipleship\n\n\n\nRaised awareness of the ways in which your congregation is colonialistic \n\n\n\n\nHost Pastor Terrell McTyer was joined by featured guests Brandon Wrencher (Minister and Organizer of the Good Neighbor Movement)\, Naomi Washington-Leapheart (Director for Faith-Based and Interfaith Affairs for the City of Philadelphia and Faith Work Director for the National LGBTQ Task Force)\, and Chris Morton (Regional Minister of Disciples of Christ in Nebraska and Director of Cotner College Educational Ministries). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Church Hacks provides practical (and sometimes peculiar) prompts for churches from start to restart. This free webinar series is jam-packed with clever solutions to tricky problems and empowers courageous leaders with the tools\, tips and how-tos to start\, sustain and strengthen congregations. For regular updates\, be sure to check this page and follow along on social media with #NewChurchHacks! \n\n\n\nA link to a recording of the webinar will be emailed to all registrants after the episode airs\, regardless of attendance. \n\n\n\nYou can either view the webinar on Zoom by registering below or by watching Terrell\, Brandon\, Naomi\, and Chris live on New Church Ministry’s Facebook page.
