From Series: "Faith & Race"
It seems as though everyone is talking about Race these days. That can be a difficult conversation for people of faith - especially if we want to do more than feel better. What does it look like for a people of faith to resist systemic racism? During this series, we'll explore how racism is systemic and what a faith-filled response can look like. Join us for a month of justice work!

This is the season of the year when people start to think about monsters – ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night. We normally don’t think of monsters having anything to do with the Church, but we’d be wrong. The reason people tell monster stories is that monsters are a safe way to talk about things we’re not ready to admit about ourselves. We don’t want to see ourselves as selfish, unforgiving, ill-tempered. So we tell stories. We create monsters.
