WHO ARE YOU? IDENTITY, CULTURE, AND BUILDING BELOVED COMMUNITY

Jeehye Pak and Giovanni Arroyo (General Commission on Religion and Race)
Who are you? And how does that shape where you belong? In this interactive workshop, we will explore how our identities and cultures shape the way we experience community and the Church. Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to be sanctuary—not just a place, but a way of being—where all people are seen, valued, and safe to be fully themselves. We’ll also explore how we can build beloved community by creating spaces of belonging that reflect God’s vision of love, justice, and inclusion for all.
