The United Methodist Church & Racism

Friends of Eastport United Methodist Church,

Throughout the past couple of weeks I have shared some resources on our church's Facebook page for deepening our understanding of racism. I want to put them all (including some newer resources) in one place for your convenience here. Please explore these resources with me and together we can gain a deeper understanding of the work we all must undertake to make our world more just and equitable.
