The Anti-Racism Commission (ARC) training series – five trainings in all - is designed to help participants understand the historic creation, preservation, and personal and institutional effects of a society built upon ideas of racial difference, which in turn support an unjust, racially based hierarchy. The series repeats annually. Email arc@diopa.org to obtain a certificate of completion.
All anti-racism trainings are online from 9 a.m. to noon with a registration fee of $20. Scholarships are available, especially for postulants and candidates for ordination. Email arc@diopa.org. Anti-racism trainings are mandatory for clergy and open to all. Completion of all 5 trainings over 2 years meets the initial clergy requirement for anti-racism education.
The series is facilitated by Lailah Dunbar-Keeys.
