Racial Justice Taskforce

The local group “JustSisters,” has extended the following invitation to join them at an event scheduled for Saturday February 17, 2024 (9:30 am – 2:00 pm), “Black Men We See You: A Conversation Among Sisters.”  See their invitation below: 

Racism is a volatile issue–perhaps especially in the Christian church. Back by popular demand, we are again offering a meaningful conversation about the racial injustices experienced by our Black brothers here in Austin: Black Men We See You: A Conversation Among Sisters. Join us for a meaningful conversation and help us bring women together in a compassionate dialogue that results in a changed culture of unity, love, and justice.

 Hear the challenges of two Christian Black Men who call Austin home. Our dynamic storytellers are Tyler Campbell, entrepreneur, speaker, and author, and Darrell W. Pierce, entrepreneur, lecturer, and business coach. Both of Christian faith, they will share from personal experience their stories of racial injustice here at home.

After we together reflect on their experiences, Rev. Dedurie Kirk will share theological reflections on the life and love of Jesus Christ and how that love might be best applied in our time. A minister of the Word, Rev. Dedurie also serves as an engineer for the City of Austin.

The stories and reflection will lead us into compassionate and courageous conversation, in large and roundtable groups, about the racism still affecting our city and how as sisters in Christ we can bring Christ’s justice and equity to our world.

Join us as we share our hearts and table for such a time as this.
