Why Faith Formation and Anti-Racism Training go Hand in Hand

“Here we call on our religious education programs…. to develop curricula relating to racism and reconciliation. Our campus ministers should plan young adult reflections and discussions that strive to build pathways toward racial equality and healing. We can also learn from the example of those young people who rise above racist attitudes and model respect. We also charge our seminaries, deacon formation programs, houses of formation and all our educational institutions to break any silence around the issue of racism, to find new and creative ways to raise awareness, analyze curricula and teach the virtues of fraternal charity.” USCCB- Open Wide Our Hearts
