Anti-Racism Formation Guide

This formation guide was created specifically for the community of Duke Memorial. The books and media, the groups that will be formed to process, the action items, and the range of developmental levels were all taken into account when creating this document. This document is meant to be a living resource, growing and changing as we engage one another and others in our anti-racism journey.

​Churches! Where are you?

​A message from Pastor Heather

"We recognize that this work is a journey.
It's long, it's personal, it's emotional, it's messy, and it's tough.
Still, we say yes. 
In the name of a God who allows us to begin again and again.
In the name of God with brown skin, Jesus, who marched against discrimination
​all the way to the cross and whose redeeming love empowers us to do the same."
