Please join us for this important discussion! Please RSVP to Emmanuel Mancilla at emancilla@thechurchcouncil.org Here are two stunning articles from Friends Journal. http://www.friendsjournal.org/experience-african-american-quaker/ Read the comments. They are as stunning as the events recounted. http://www.friendsjournal.org/dear-friendgood-white-person/ I would be interested in what Friends make of these articles as well as the whole issue. Other Items: A powerful tribute to Dr. Eddie Moore, founder of the White Privilege Conference who, until his recent dismissal was Director of Diversity at Brooklyn Friends School: http://willoughbystreetjournal.blogspot.com/2014/10/remembering-dr-moore.html From Sojourners God's PoliticsBlog http://sojo.net/blogs/2014/10/03/racial-justice-our-divine-duty?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sojourners%2Fgods-politics+%28Sojourners+God%27s+Politics+Blog%29
