Participants will become those who will lead trainings in various congregations throughout the Diocese. The training will be open to a maximum of 10 people deeply committed to an extended process as we move the congregations in the Episcopal Diocese of Iowa to begin dismantling racism. Those interested in participating in this track must complete an application and commit to six subsequent monthly webinars.

Dr. Catherine Meeks, chair of the Diocese of Atlanta’s Beloved Community: Dismantling Racism Commission, will lead this session. She is the retired Clara Carter Acree Distinguished Professor of Socio-Cultural Studies at Mercer University, an author, community and wellness advocate, and mid-wife to the soul.
