HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN
"MOVING FORWARD IN FAITH"
Under the heading of “Moving Forward in Faith,” Christ the King is embarking on a three-month project proposed by the Racial Solidarity Team and approved by the Congregation Council on February 26. The purpose of this project is to do a “racial equity assessment,” evaluating the events surrounding the resignation of Pastor Nikkeya last December, discerning how far CTK has come in its journey to becoming a more anti-racist church, and developing the next steps. To help us do this important work, we have engaged Rev. Brenda Smith, a retired African American Lutheran pastor from Baltimore, and Deacon Tammy Devine, who is White and lives in Minnesota. The two of them have teamed up to do anti-racism training with many congregations across the country. Pastor Brenda will visit Cary March 17-20 and conduct one-on-one interviews with CTK members who are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color). She will also connect with members after services, and you can connect with her via e-mail as well, brendiksmith@gmail.com.
Deacon Tammy will offer online small group sessions for our members who are White via zoom, lasting about 45 minutes to an hour. The following days and times are available:
- Tuesday, March 21, 3pm and 7pm
- Tuesday, March 28, 1pm
- Wednesday, March 29, 10am and 4pm
- Tuesday, April 4, 11am
Please select the date and time that works for you and sign up in Church Center. For questions about “Moving Forward in Faith,” call Pastor Wolfgang Herz-Lane at 856-278-3055.
