Loading...On the day after Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a National Day of Racial Healing is observed. The National Day of Racial Healing is a time to contemplate our shared values and create the blueprint together for #HowWeHeal from the effects of racism. Launched on January 17, 2017, it is an opportunity to bring ALL people together in their common humanity and inspire collective action to create a more just and equitable world.
The Diocese of Mississippi is actively involved in "Becoming Beloved Community," our anti-racism initiative.
If you want to become involved in the diocesan initiative, let the rector know of your interest. (Charles at 228-238-7010)
