Issues of race, justice and antiracism are frequently at the forefront of conversation in human services and culture. This workshop will explore key questions about antiracism including:

• What is antiracism from the view of current culture?
• What are its key components and how is it the same or different from a Biblical approach to issues of race and justice?
• What real issues of justice, oppression or racism continue to affect the Black community today?
• How should Christian people helpers respond to both unhelpful views of antiracism and the real issues of race and oppression in our culture?
