Thank you for this article. I hadn't realized how bad racism was until I married a "black" man. I know I can never understand the prejudice he experienced and still experiences. I am amazed at how many people come up to me with an, "I'm not racist statement and rationale." In nursing school that gave a presentation that has stuck with me. He said, "Everyone is racist. It's acknowledging that racism and not letting that rule our responses and actions." I have found that statement useful so many times. I don't give anyone a pass who approaches me with that question.
This is such a great question! Although I attend a CRC church, I have been getting leadership training from another church in our area. They provide a Bible study during the summer and help you to develop a presentation. The first year I joined in this Women's Bible study they gave me a woman in the Bible to present on. Every year has been less information. So every year I and those who volunteer have to do more work and investigation on the topics. Also there is a retreat that Dr. Paige, from Calvin, has for women in ministry called Preach Sista. I will miss it so badly this year! But mentoring is so important, but how do you find that support?
