Who must attend and complete:
- Clergy
- Vestries, officers, committee members, and others lay leaders in churches
- Members of diocesan councils, committees, commissions, agencies, and boards
- Lay Employees
WORKSHOP INFORMATION
Seeing the Face of God in Each Other Antiracism Workshop (SFG) is an interactive and experiential workshop created by the Episcopal Church. It is not a lecture. The curriculum includes power, privilege, race, racism, class, internalized racial oppression, and next steps. A meaningful experience is a program priority. That’s best achieved with a minimum of 12 participants and a maximum of 30. Racial diversity of 25% is ideal. When the workshop has been racially homogeneous participants have lamented the absence of people of color. SFG is open to all Episcopalians. Deadline for registration is one week in advance for facilitators to prepare. All registrations are to be sent to Adam Barner, as soon as possible. Since 2011 nearly eight hundred Episcopalians in the diocese have completed SFG. Workshops are offered throughout the year by a team of trained facilitators.
After registering for a SFG workshop, participants should prepare for SFG by watching the videos on this playlist.
