Building Bridges Guide: A 10-session blueprint for the collective journey toward racial reconciliation (PDF download)
Do you have a heart to help heal racial division in our country? Do you desire to work toward racial unity, but don’t know where to start? Have you ever wondered what the Bible might have to say about healing and reconciliation?
The popular BTB Discussion Guide, renamed Building Bridges, has been updated and redesigned to meet this moment of national racial reckoning. This edition Incorporates readings from Be the Bridge by Latasha Morrison.
We still believe the Church should be equipped to speak with wisdom, knowledge and Christ-like empathy and grace. The 3.0 Discussion Guide is the tool your church, small group and organization needs to move the conversation forward.
The 3.0 Discussion Guide is designed to lead a multi-racial group of 6-12 people through a 10-session study on the key steps in the racial reconciliation process: Awareness, Acknowledgement and Lament, Shame and Guilt, Confession, Forgiveness, Repentance, Making Amends, Restoration, and Reproduction.
Each session involves studying a passage of Scripture, reading background information, sharing personal experiences (and listening to those of others), prayer and journaling. Between sessions, group members are expected to complete educational and experiential homework assignments.
