EYES ON THE PRIZE
Working on Racial Justice for the Long Haul
Led by Dr. Christine Jeske
An In-Person Gathering
Saturday November 21 – 3:00 -5:00 pm ET
Germantown Mennonite Church
21 West Washington Lane – Philadelphia
Those of us who seek to show up in the work for racial justice know how hard that work can be. Inspired by the words of Dr. King, we need to name the obstacles we face – being overwhelmed by deep divisions, conflicting priorities, and historical burdens. We also need a clearer vision for engagement with racial justice and reconciliation that goes beyond easy answers or simplistic optimism. In this interactive workshop, we will reflect on how we find enduring hope for justice. We’ll learn practical postures that can keep us honest, active, and leaning into joy as we participate in God’s on-going work.
“They have carved a tunnel of hope through the mountain of disappointment.”
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dr. Christine Jeske is a dynamic speaker, a Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Wheaton College and author of several books including Racial Justice for the Long Haul: How White Christian Advocates Persevere (and Why). She’s obsessed with hope and believes we need not just more hope, but a prophetic, honest, and active kind of hope. She trains students, faculty, and churches to live good and just lives in this multicultural world.
