Responsively Yours: Bend With Me

*This episode of Responsively Yours was recorded by Tara Barnes.*Ending racism has been a priority for United Methodist Women for a long time. Even with all I’ve learned, during this time I’ve realized that there is still so much I don’t know or that I need to relearn about the history of the United States and the ways that I and other white people are co-opted into a racist system and benefit from it, even without our conscious assent. Some of you may have a similar sense of needing to shift and change very quickly. How can there be so much to learn? How can there still be so much I didn’t see? How can all our efforts at change (in ourselves, our organization, the church and the nation) have fallen so woefully short?- - -This episode originally appeared in the July/August 2020 issue of response, the award winning magazine from United Methodist Women.Visit www.UnitedMethodistWomen.org to find out more.
