From Race, Whiteness and the Church class 2020-2021

Leonetta will speak to us about her experience being black in dominant culture spaces.

She is a creative contemplative, a writer, and a public theologian that thrives at the intersection of culture, faith and justice. The arc of her work has always bent towards the margins and her desire for radical inclusion of the typically excluded.

Leonetta completed the Soul Formation Academy of Spiritual Formation in 2016 and the School of Spiritual Direction program in June 2019. She has been serving as a Spiritual Director since that time.

During the hour this Sunday, we will listen as Leonetta offers a personal reflection rooted in her story and experiences of being black in dominant culture spaces. We will also participate in a brief reflective examen prayer on racial justice, followed by a community conversation.
