The AJC's RE:Race team has created a special Facebook group to encourage conversation among people of faith about race.
What obligation do churches, synagogues or mosques have to try to promote racial understanding? Is your place of worship, if you have one, actively seeking racial reconciliation?
The Facebook group is private — we'd like to have a respectful, productive conversation, and not be overwhelmed by the hateful trolls who often dominate online discussions about race. All you have to do to take part is send an email to race@ajc.com, and we'll invite you to join us.
Creation of the group followed our publication of an extraordinary story about two churches in Roswell, one white, one black, that tried to use faith and conversation to reach across the racial divide.
That led us to ask: what are people of faith doing about race? What should they be doing? We created a space to have that conversation, and we’d love to have you along.
Email race@ajc.com.
