Hello Everyone!

During our sixth Speaker Series event, we will focus on the intersection of race and religion. There is a long history between race and religion filled with both unity and division. Regardless, these two ideas have always been intertwined, and this event is meant to explore that relationship.

What role can religion play in unraveling the scourge of racism and white supremacy? Is there room for multiple religions to play a collective role? What are the barriers (if any) to incorporating antiracism in religious teachings? These are just some of the questions I hope to explore during this event.

Introducing our esteemed group of speakers:

(1) Christine Kurg – Member of The Baha'i Faith https://www.bahai.org/

(2) Brian Kurzius – Member of The Baha'i Faith https://www.bahai.org/

(3) Seth Martin – Lead Pastor at Brook Community Church https://www.thebrooktc.org/our-story

(4) Jenan Mohajir – Interfaith Youth Core https://ifyc.org/

Each speaker will have up to 15 minutes each to speak about their work, observations, and experiences regarding the intersection of race and religion. Then attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions directly of our panelists either through chat or via microphone.

Afterward, our attendees will have the opportunity to continue the discussion via our discord channel. You can join our discord channel to chat about issues regarding race in many contexts or to find/share resources about the battle for racial equality right here: https://discord.gg/b3anUtj

Thank you all in advance for sharing your valuable perspectives with us!

The group discussion starts at 7pm, but you can arrive up to 15 minutes early to make sure your technology is working. The Zoom link will be made available to everyone that RSVPs for this event. If the link is not working on this page (or you can't find it on the right hand side of this event page), please check our Facebook Page "Racism Discussion Group" where this event is also posted (please consider liking the page as well). There is a 100-person limit to the number of attendees, so please revise your RSVP if you cannot attend to allow people who may end up on the wait list to get a chance. We hope to see you there!
