    CCORR offers prayer sessions

    February 11, 2025 / By Georgia Whitney, CCORR Co-Convener / .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

    The work of confronting racism can be bruising for the soul. Knowing this, your Conference Commission on Religion and Race (CCORR) seeks to offer inspiration, a listening ear, and the opportunity to come together in prayer on a regular basis.

    Beginning Tuesday, February 18, members of CCORR will open a Zoom meeting room at 12 p.m. using this link. In these 15-minute sessions, we’ll offer a short prepared meditation. Following this, we will be available to listen to the challenges you are facing as you wrestle with how Jesus is calling you to bring the gospel of God’s love to bear on the sin of racism. Then we will take time to pray together and look for the ways the spirit will partner with us in moving the mountains that have to move.

    If you are perplexed or anxious about issues of race, white supremacy, or unearned privilege in your ministry setting, we hope you will join us for one or more of CCORR’s prayer sessions.
