Anticipating AT1–June 12, 2020

Eyewitness accounts are too often unreliable because we twist the facts to fit our truth. False testimony often devastates the lives of people with black and brown skin in North America and other parts of the world. Christ challenges us to change, and to get that right. …

Welcome to Anticipating AT1. To keep our hope alive that one day we will be back together again, we are providing virtual meetings, with a new edition every Friday. Anticipating AT1 is 10-15 minutes long, and can be viewed at any time. We hope it prompts personal reflection, and is a discussion catalyst with your family and friends as you talk with them in the safe ways you connect during these unusual times.

Discussion Questions:

1. Think about a time when you realized you had inaccurately assessed a situation. How did you feel? How did you correct your observing and reporting the next time?

2. Are you taking a careful inventory of your racial biases? What are you doing about them?

3. Let’s not lie to ourselves about how much we help others. What can we do, even if it is at some cost to ourselves?

Be well, and love well.
