The Anti-Black Racism Task Force of the Diocese of Montreal serves to equip the clergy and (lay) people of the Diocese of Montreal with the skills and awareness necessary to create and foster healthy, vibrant multicultural, multi-ethnic parishes which can support the spiritual growth of all God’s people.
With this stated objective in mind, we are pleased to announce our upcoming conference entitled Confronting the Past, Looking to the Future: the Church’s role in creating systemic racism and what can be done about it.
There will be stimulating talks and engaging workshops. We will examine the Church’s responsibility to promote equity, diversity and inclusion.
Our Conferencier is Dr. Myrna Lashley, PhD. Dr. Lashley is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, McGill University. Among the many and varied posts that Dr. Lashley has held, she was a director of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, as well as having served on the Comité consultatif sur les relations Interculturelles et Interraciales de la Communauté Urbaine de Montréal.
The conference will be held online (via ZOOM) 01-02 October, 2021. All clergy, lay readers and lay pastoral ministers, wardens and others in parish leadership are encouraged to attend.
