(Added language is in bold italic text<\/strong><\/em>)<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sec. 3.03. Anti-Racism Training and Certification.<\/em><\/strong>
At least 30 days before the first day of the Convention, Delegates and alternates must complete Anti-Racism and Racial Reconciliation coursework managed and utilized for diocesan training programs by the Bishop’s Office.

Explanation:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2020, I wrote Resolution C009 to the 80th General Convention in Baltimore which passed and enacted in the House of Deputies. If approved, this requirement would become effective for the 175th Convention of the Diocese of California in 2024. Although many of us have participated in the Sacred Ground series and other anti-racism programs, Church Next\u2019s Becoming Beloved Community is the diocesan training curriculum that we are currently proposing.<\/p>\n

This spring, the Rocky Mountain PBS station released a documentary titled \u201cThis is {Not} Who We Are\u201d regarding the issues of Institutional Racism\u201d in Boulder, Colorado, a community that prides itself on being Progressive. Likewise, we in the San Francisco Bay Area are not immune to the problem of systemic racism and need to continue with our own efforts to combat it at every level of the Church.<\/p>\n
