Grace and Race Ministries, Inc., and Wesley Theological at Mount Vernon Square invite representatives from local congregations in the National Capital Area to join us for an introductory racial reconciliation empowerment seminar.  Participating churches are asked to send intergenerational teams to an intensive seminar to equip and empower leaders to promote racial understanding, healing and reconciliation.  Grace and Race Ministries, Inc. will create a sacred, safe space for honest dialogue about race and provide educational resources to facilitate activities in local congregations.  Teams will examine the historical, psychological, sociological and theological contexts of race in our nation.  They will also experience models and techniques to use to provide transformational leadership, person to person, church to church, and beyond.  Checks can be made payable to Grace and Race Ministries, Inc. and mailed to P.O. Box 4992, Silver Spring, MD 20914.  Space is limited.  Please register by March 3, 2010.  For more information go to http://chesapeakeucc.org/home/?p=1533
