HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST FALL BOOK DISCUSSION

 "The good news is that racist and antiracist are not fixed identities. We can be a racist one minute and an antiracist the next. What we say about race, what we do about race, in each moment, determines what — not who — we are." 

The Reading Group is participating in the Diocesan-sponsored discussion of Ibram X. Kendi's highly-acclaimed book How to Be an Antiracist.  Here is the diocesan program's official website. On it, you can find an exhortation from Bishop Dietsche, details on where to purchase the book (it is also available at NYPL), how the programming will work, discussion questions, and a host of other related resources.   

SAINT SAVIOUR'S MEET TIMES ON ZOOM
To enable the greatest possible participation, we will be meeting on Sundays at 12:30 for three sessions:

• Sunday, 9/20 12:30-1:30 Discussion I  (Introduction, Chapters 1-6)

• Sunday, 9/27 12:30-1:30  Discussion II (Chapters 7-12)

• Sunday, 10/4 12:30-1:30 Discussion III (Chapters 13-End)

• Diocesan-Wide Zoom Discussion with Dr. Kendi:  October 22

(In addition, we hope to participate in virtual inter-parish discussion sessions, see the registration form for details. ) 

WHAT TO EXPECT
In recommending How to Be an Antiracist to the 200 parishes in New York's Episcopal Diocese, Bishop Dietsche writes that Dr. Kendi "offers an invitation to all of us and each of us to be transformed, to be enlarged, to be enriched, and to become better and more complete human beings, and more just communities."  It is in this spirit that the Reading Group committed to hosting these discussions. They are not meant to be exhaustive, didactic, or judgmental. Simply come prepared, having read the assigned chapters and given prayerful thought to the discussion questions.

HOW TO REGISTER
While registration is not mandatory, we urge you to sign-up. If we know how many people are coming, we can better plan how best to facilitate the discussions and send additional materials.
