On Sunday, March 2, we welcome guest preacher/forum leader Pastor Osheta Moore. Along with being a writer and speaker, Pr. Moore co-pastors Roots Moravian Church in the Midway of St Paul. Pr. Moore will be working alongside Gloria Dei for the coming months as we deepen our work around the themes of contemplative activism, reframing anti-racism and becoming a beloved community. If you want to begin now, buy her book Dear White Peacemakers and begin reading. Looking for a place to buy the book? A great option is local, independent shop Black Garnet Books here in St Paul. Or buy it wherever you like to buy books. If you are a book listener, it’s also available on Audible (with Pr. Moore reading).We are grateful to the months-long planning efforts of Gloria Dei’s racial justice team to bring this new whole-congregational learning opportunity to fruition.
