How are we to respond to human suffering in our time? What does solidarity with those who are suffering look like? What does compassion, meaning ‘to suffer with,’ really mean in a world that has erected all sorts of diversions—the economies of war, wealth disparities, and constant entertainment?

Canon Carla Robinson, Diocesan Canon for Multicultural Ministries and Community Transformation, will lead this one day training experience which is based on “Seeing the Face of God in Each Other: The Antiracism Training Manual of the Episcopal Church.” We will begin with the conviction, grounded in the Baptismal Covenant, that we are all children of God who still bear the image of God.
