Repairers of the Breach book study series begins with White Fragility by Robin Diangelo

The Repairers of the Breach will be embarking on a series of diocesan wide book studies to help us engage in conversations about racial justice. The first book we will be reading is White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism by Robin Diangelo.  Bishop Haynes has this to say about the book: "For those who are just beginning to step, even if tentatively, into the waters of racial justice conversation, Robin Diangelo's book White Fragility is an excellent place to start. Diangelo gives us permission to look at all the reasons that racism is so hard to talk about and then encourages us to begin the conversation. We hope you will join us in taking this step toward respecting the dignity of every human being."

Participants are asked to read a chapter each week prior to gathering via Zoom on Wednesday evenings at 6 p.m. for a facilitated discussion related to the week's chapter content. The first Zoom gathering will be held on August 19 at 6 p.m. and all the sessions will be recorded. If you are unable to attend on Wednesdays, we still invite you to join us in reading this book together and hope you will be able to watch the recordings. Click here to join the study. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing log in information.
