National UBE: Summit on Truth-telling and Reparations

Thursday, September 19-Saturday, September 21, 2024

A historic summit gathering for Episcopal lay, and clergy leaders engaged in reparations and truth-telling ministries sponsored by the church’s Office of African Descent Ministries and the Department of Reconciliation, Justice, and Creation Care.  This summit is a crucial gathering for Episcopal lay and clergy leaders engaged in reparations and truth-telling ministries to share strategy, best practices, resources, prayer, and encouragement with one another. If your diocese, congregation, or organization is in any way engaged in the work of racial truth-telling and reparations—unearthing and naming historic racial injustices, reckoning with systemic harm, discerning what constitutes healing and repair, and/or working toward concrete plans toward reparations and repair—please plan to gather your stories and resources and join the circle. The Summit (which begins on Thursday, September 19 at 4:00 pm and ends on Saturday, September 21 at 12:00 noon) takes place at Virginia Theological Seminary.
