Description: Racial healing is not only a social good worthy of pursuing, it is a spiritual practice. This hour-long workshop will take the journey of racial healing with Jesus into the desert. The desert is a liminal space, an uncomfortable space, a dangerous place. The desert reminds us that we cannot get to Beloved Community without leaving behind former ways of living, of thinking, of relating. Following Jesus and drawing on the contemplative traditions of the desert mothers and fathers, we will explore the renunciations that we may take up during the season of Lent that conduce to racial healing and justice. By renouncing the way that white supremacy inhabits our vocations, our images of God, and our thoughts about our selves, we will take the spiritual journey toward Beloved Community.
