Anti-Racism Training 

Required for Ministers of the Word and Sacrament who are currently serving, Commissioned Pastors, Certified Christian Educators, Candidates & Inquirers Under Care, and Presbytery Committee Members.

ALL members of presbytery (excluding HR ministers of Word and Sacrament who are not in a validated ministry) must participate in one or more events. Participants will be asked to register for each event that interests them and pay a nominal cost of $10 (financial assistance available). We will hold post-event discussions so that we can share our learning and encourage one another in our anti-racism work.
