Each large group session will include small group discussions using breakout rooms. White folks will be in groups with other white folks, knowing there is specific work we are called to do together in dismantling white supremacy. We also recognize white folks are at different places in regards to entering into these conversations. Please select your entry point from the options below, so we can create conversation groups that will be both supportive and challenging.
I am just beginning to understand my own privilege, learning the vocabulary, and how racism is a systemic issue.
I have engaged in individual work to understand white privilege and how systemic racism is embedded in our society. I haven't yet, or have just started to actively engage this work collectively and/or publicly.
I have been engaged in active anti-racism work for quite a while, am involved in white accountability groups and/or anti-racism coalitions, and/or am active in collective public work addressing systemic issues.
We expect conversations and content during the conference to be challenging as we do this anti-racism work together. It is important to have colleagues or friends as check-in and de-briefing partners as we engage hard conversations. Please list the folks who will be in your check-in group (2-3 folks), or you can choose to be placed in a check-in group by the planning team. There will be time throughout the conference to intentionally connect with your check-in group either in-person, via zoom, or another medium of your choice.
Please let us know if you would like to pay by credit card or check. Paying by credit card will add $10/registration.

Checks should be sent to the Rocky Mountain Synod with BOTH "Theological Conference" AND the name of the attendee(s) in the memo line.
Leaders of color/culture and folks who are staying at the Marriott in Colorado Springs should email Deacon Erin Power for the correct coupon code prior to completing this registration.
