When our churches are welcoming and hospitable places for people of all backgrounds, we become more truly the Body of Christ. When we draw on everyone’s gifts, we become more effective in shared mission and ministry. However, we all have biases which come from our experiences, culture and the media. These influence how we make judgements and assessments of people. This course seeks to encourage everyone who has a leadership role in our churches — whether lay or ordained — to think about how we might become more diverse and inclusive, and how we might release everyone's gifts. Registration and refreshments from 9.30am, for a prompt 10am start.
