Racal Justice book club
The Racial Justice book club will resume meeting on Zoom on Thursday nights at 7:30 on October 19. We welcome drop-ins if you can't make every Thursday, but want to read the book with us.
Our book for this fall is Invisible by Grace Ji-Sun Kim. She shares the story of her heritage, her family history, her immigration, and her own experience as an Asian American woman. She deploys biblical, sociological, and theological narratives to empower the voices of Asian American women. Speaking with the weight of a theologian, she powerfully paves the way for a theology of visibility that honors the voice and identity of these women.
Contact Mary Crickmore if you are interested in joining.
