The death of George Floyd has moved the discussion of racism up on our agenda. It has been a catalyst, even a reminder for some of us in the Church to pay attention to the injustice of racism. In response to some of the discussions that have come up a some individuals and organisations are giving free anti-racism resources for the church. Here are some of the ones we’re aware of:

Note: we don’t endorse or take a stance based on the resources we’re sharing with you. Our hope is to make you aware of what’s available. Use your discretion as you filter this through Scripture.

This free (digital download) resource from Barna is from a study looking at racism in the past and present in the United States.

Barna says, “Whether it represents a starting point or simply a next step for your church, Where Do We Go from Here? is intended to bring context to important conversations and contribute to a broader understanding of race relations in our present moment.”
