Saint Gabriel’s February 2020 Book Study
(Sponsored by the St. Gabriel’s Focus 20/20 Committee)
Most of us are aware of the rise in acts of racism, discrimination and hate crimes in our state and nationally. Saint Gabriel’s is beginning discussions within our vestry, our diocese, and our tri-town community to better understand and respond to this trend.
We would like to engage our parish and community in a discussion on racism, to help us learn and discover more about ourselves and the issue of racism in our world. We invite you to participate in an evening of discussion based on Debby Irving’s book Waking Up White–Finding Myself in the Story of Race on Sunday evening, March 1st at St. Gabriel’s Parish Hall.
According to Ms. Irving, “Waking Up White is the book I wish someone had handed me decades ago. My hope is that by sharing my sometimes cringe-worthy struggle to understand racism and racial tensions, I offer a fresh perspective on bias, stereotypes, manners, and tolerance.”
We pray that reading this book as a group will enable us to begin an important conversation in our community. A limited number of books will be available in the church office for $18, or can be purchased on Amazon for your Kindle.
Please mark your calendars for Sunday, March 1st at 6:30pm for discussion at St. Gabriel’s parish hall. Coffee and refreshments will be served. Let us know if you will be bringing your children so that we can plan for child care.
This event is organized by St. Gabriel’s Focus 20/20 Committee. Formerly established three years ago to increase awareness of opioid and substance abuse in our community, the group is now expanding its focus to include other important issues within our tri-town community and beyond. If you would like more information about our programs for 2020, or if you would like to get involved with Focus 20/20, please contact a committee member.
