It's a call for our time.

Racism continues to hold a grip on our nation. We see this enduring reality through the widening wealth gap between blacks and whites; disparate health impacts for African Americans during Covid 19, child birth, and climate change; and the treatment of people of color in the criminal justice system – to name just a few examples. Over the centuries, white faith communities have been deeply complicit in this story of oppression. But we believe there’s a stirring among people of faith, a hunger, for racial justice and healing. Many just aren’t sure how to go about it and could use a partner along the way.

How we Work
The mission of Interwoven Congregations is to help faith communities in the U.S. become agents for racial justice and healing -- within their congregations, in their community, and across society at large. We support faith communities as they: ​​
Build Relationships
Take Action
What's coming up next . . .
Join us on August 28th at 7:00 p.m. EDT for the next Interwoven Congregations Roundtable!
The opening half of the Roundtable will be a discussion and sharing of tools around how our congregations can "Get out of the Gates" on their antiracism journeys. How can we:
-
lay the foundation for our antiracism journey?
-
assess where we are as congregations today?
-
develop an antiracism policy for our congregations that can serve as both a public proclamation of our commitment to racial justice AND as a catalyst for individual and congregational action?
​​
As always, part two of the roundtable will be our Peer Exchange where attendees can share what's going well with their faith community's antiracism efforts and where they may be stuck or in need of new ideas. Come to build community, share and learn!

We're thinking about trees these days, specifically, those redwoods -- the tallest trees on earth. Their roots, surprisingly, don't go deep. They go wide. And that's the source of their strength -- interlocking their root systems which allow these towering trees to withstand heavy winds and other storms. That's what we're seeking to create through the Interwoven Congregations Network -- a root system of congregations dedicated to promoting racial justice. Learn more about what it means to join the network here. You can sign your congregation up here!
