UMC MO Conference Bishop, Robert Farr, stated in his memo dated June 1, 2020 "I am asking that every white United Methodist in Missouri but especially our appointed and assigned pastors, paid church staff and lay leaders read a book that has helped me better understand my own sin and complicity to the horrors of racism: White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism (2018) by Robin DiAngelo, PhD." If you are interested in exploring the topic of racism, you are invited to the "White Fragility" book study through 4 online sessions. This book study will be held on Wednesday evenings, 8/12, 8/19, 8/26, and 9/2, from 6:30 - 8 pm. If you have an interest in attending one or more of these sessions, please register through the link attached below. Please register by Friday, 8/7, if at all possible.
