To spotlight what our Rector, the Rev. Samuel T. Lloyd, calls “the urgent issue of our time,” Trinity Church will be hosting the inaugural Anne B. Bonnyman Symposium – “We Still Have a Dream: End Racism,” produced by a subcommittee of the Anti-Racism Team. Free and open to the public, the program, featuring nationally recognized speakers, will include opportunities to discuss barriers to equality as well as to learn spiritually sustaining practices individuals and communities can adopt to help recognize, root out and resist the effects of systemic racism. Events throughout the day will include:
• Keynote by Marian Wright Edelman, founder of Children’s Defense Fund
• Sermons by Bishop Michael Curry of North Carolina at 9:00 am and 11:15 am services.
