Building an Inclusive, Caring Community: Unveiling Perception and the Christian Identity

Handout from Forum 1 on Anti-racism, Presbyterian Women of the Synod Summer Conference, Chapman University July 2016. Contents include: brief definitions of racism and anti-racism, including distinctions between the new and the old forms of both; major anti-racism actions taken at GA 222; PC (USA) resources for congregations and individuals, and an introduction to the Anti-racism Digital Library and Thesaurus.

Goal: To gain a deeper understanding of the modern racial (theological) imagination, social construction and racialization (processes of attributing reality, race/racial characteristics), prototypical categorization, the history of anti-racism, and how people construct identity.
