Racial Healing Conference
Reflections from January 27, 2024
Shelly and I participated in a wonderful "racial healing retreat" this past Saturday at our church in Charlotte. We recorded some reflections about the experience, our takeaways, and our "next steps" earlier this week, and I posted this as the first episode of a new "Heal Our Culture" podcast. Please listen, subscribe and share!
The full podcast description is:
In this first podcast episode of the “Heal Our Culture Project” podcast, hosts Wes and Shelly Fryer share their reflections and takeaways from a racial healing conference they attended. They emphasize the importance of cultural healing, understanding different perspectives, and engaging in conversations that bridge gaps in a polarized society. They discuss the significance of recognizing and addressing racial and cultural biases, the power of empathy and listening, and the role of education in fostering a more inclusive and understanding community. The Fryers highlight their commitment to being cultural healers through promoting respect, care, kindness, forgiveness, understanding, and love. They also outline their next steps in continuing their journey of learning and healing, including attending further conferences and engaging with resources that support their mission.
In addition to this podcast, check out the growing resource page for the Heal Our Culture project.
Together, let us resolve to be “culture healers, not culture warriors.”
