BYM Antiracism Organizing and Training

by WebPost | Sep 11, 2023 | Baltimore Yearly Meeting, Clerk’s Business, Current

The Race and Racism Ad Hoc Committee would like to share the following training provided by BYM:

The BYM Working Group on Racism has arranged for Crossroads Antiracism Organizing and Training to provide training via Zoom for BYM Friends doing antiracism work in their local Meetings.

September 16^th 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Introduction to Systemic Racism

We will gain shared language and frameworks with which to grapple not only with our unwitting legitimization of systemic racism but with what committing to the work of dismantling racism and of cultivating antiracist culture and practice in our Meetings will require. We will also be introduced to strategic methodology that can assist us to organize our work of dismantling racism in our Meetings.

October 14^th 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Follow-up

Crossroads will work with us in developing next steps.

Registration

Friends’ Decision-Making and Clerking: Participating in Meetings for Business with Joy and Confidence

by WebPost | Sep 10, 2023 | Current, Pendle Hill

This is an opportunity for both new and experienced clerks of Friends’ meetings and committees to meet and think about the role of presiding clerk in the spiritual practice of meeting for business.

The workshop will address racism in the context of Friends’ decision-making and clerking. We need to pay attention to racism because it affects (infects) nearly everything in this society. We will be lifting up decision-making processes that seek to liberate the Spirit among all participants.

There will be handouts to follow along during the program, exercises, and opportunities to share experiences, with most work being done in a whole group setting. It is expected that each person will leave the weekend with new energy and enthusiasm for being a clerk, feeling well grounded in both the theoretical and the practical.

This is a Pendle Hill program and will be held on campus Nov. 17-19th

Contact Pendlehill.org for more information Scholarships may be available.
