Join us for a discussion of Carolyn B. Helsel’s Anxious to Talk About It: Helping White Christians Talk Faithfully About Racism. Talking about race can make us anxious. Professor and pastor Carolyn Helsel draws on her experiences with white congregations to offer tools and practices to explore the anxious feelings that can come up when talking about racism. Learn how to join the hard conversations and move forward with less fear, more compassion and more knowledge of self, others and the important issues at stake. You do not have to read the book to join our discussion of this important topic.
