Show Notes

Dave & Gert Slabach pastor Faith Mennonite in southern Virginia. Their church has been setting aside time to grow together as a body in their understanding of the racial tensions in our nation. I sat down with them to hear what they are doing to learn/grow as a body, and how they create a safe environment for people to process what they discover.

Mentioned in the episode it Gert's blog article, "What I Think about White Privilege."

Also discussed is the book, Be the Bridge: Pursuing God's Heart for Racial Reconciliation.

For further resources to help in better understanding the racial issues of our day, check out Faith Mennonite's recommended list (shared with permission), as well as a list of resources provided by Restorative Faith:
