Mapping A Path to Racial Justice: A Journey to Beloved Community

For those looking to have rich and deep conversations with people within and beyond your circles through virtual suppers, we invite you to join in Mapping A Path to Racial Justice: A Journey to Beloved Community. One of the most significant ways to celebrate who we are and where we come from is often found through conversations that happen as we break bread together with those like and unlike us. We invite you to join us at the beginning of 2021 to engage in 5 supper sessions to gain the skills and tools needed to build a more equitable future by understanding each other.

Origin of the People's Supper initiative

Things people are saying about the people's supper

"The People's Supper Series was enlightening as I hear how others like myself are wrestling with their thoughts and how to challenge with the status quo in a constructive way. I enjoy seeing our group share ideas about moving our communities forward. For example, cross-cultural church events and activities that are a training ground for being together and getting out of our comfort zone. I was born and raised in New York City where we lived, worked and played with people from all over the world. I’m 60 and I thought this was primarily a southern problem. Boy was I wrong! Racial justice is a delicate topic and as a family of God if we struggle the nation will continue to struggle. At the first Supper in person, I could see more work was needed. At the last event, I could see collectively we all have evolved, some more than others."

"This will eventually bring us to a place of helping us connect without having to put on our mask. It starts with having these conversations to the point where we can exchange with one another, where we are learning how to respond to one another. At the end of this, I can say: ‘I was part of a community that knows how to respond to white folks and they know how to respond to me.’ "

"I showed up to work on curing the pain that exists in our communities. I was so grateful for how everyone who showed up was willing to be transparent and willing to talk about where we struggle with issues related to inclusivity."

"I appreciated the opportunity to share my culture with others as I learned about theirs. I actually wish it could have gone on longer!"
