Continuing our Conversations on Race and Culture
Grace Lutheran Church is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
Topic: Conversations on Race and Culture
Time: May 19, 2021 07:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)
Meeting ID: 884 5342 3738
Passcode: 340510
Did you know that May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month? As we think about this month and the people it celebrates we also need to take time to reflect on and act upon the acts of violence that have been experienced over the last year. Since 2020 more than 4,000 Asian American and Pacific Islander people have been attacked around the United States (StopAAPIHate). These blatant racism, discrimination, and hatred are not the first time in our long history where these people groups have experienced this level of hatred. Throughout the history of our country from the beginnings of the West, World War II, Korean and Vietnam Wars and many more moments in history people have been targeted because they are Asian.
People of Grace, in this Conversations on Race and Culture, I hope to give a small glimpse of long and interwoven history of Asian Americans and our country in order to gain understanding of their story, provide solidarity and advocating for those in our community and around the world, as well discuss steps to usher in peace and reconciliation between the diverse people of God.
Join us, May 19th at 7pm via ZOOM for this educating conversation about how to better serve our Asian American siblings in Christ!
