If not sure how to ask a question\, I can private message Micol Cottrell or the host and they will help frame the question in broad terms\, or without context of the church\, minister\, and staff.  Note:   you can always contact Micol Cottrell MCottrell@united-church.ca with situations that you need to talk about and in that conversation can be more candid. \nI will respect that what others share is confidential and will not share that information outside of the group.   This allows for learning drawn from individual experiences. \nI will appreciate that the questions people ask may not be about a situation that they are facing as an M&P Committee at this moment\, rather a question for future learning. \nI will respect that different M&P committees work differently depending on context. \nI will be gentle with myself and with others trusting in God’s Spirit in leading us to learn together. \nRegister Now!

Alcris Limongi \n\nThe Rev. Alcris Limongi was born in Venezuela and has been a member of the United Church of Canada since 1996. She has served the Church in different capacities. She was a Th.D. candidate in NT at Emmanuel College and the Racial Justice\, Gender Justice and Sexual Minorities Program Coordinator at the General Council Office. She also was the Liaison to the UCW National and to Affirm United. She was the staff lead for the GC40 Commitment to Inclusion\, and has served as facilitator of the UC Racial Justice Mandatory training since 2009. As an Ordained Minister she served at Parkdale United Church in Ottawa for five years and currently is part of the Center for Christian Studies in Winnipeg staff team as Program/Educator. \nShe offers both experience and perspective from our national denomination structures a well from a local-congregational community and based ministries. \nRev. Alcris trained in Courageous Conversations about Race with the Pacific Educational Group. The focus has been identifying systemic racism and racial differential gaps\, as well as facilitating Courageous Conversations. \nHer own identity as a racialized woman in Canada\, her life experience between marginality and privilege in different ways\, combined with a sound theological education\, and personal and theological commitment to justice\, have helped her develop a particular lens\, what she calls “the gift of her brown eyes” to the Church. Her passion is to encourage racial majority and minorities to engage together identifying\, naming\, interrogating\, interrupting and dismantling racism. She is a teacher/preacher/facilitator with creativity\, flexibility\, and openness to respectfully listen and learn from cultural differences. She adds “English is not my native language\, which is both strength and weakness. It is a strength because with language I also bring different perspectives of defining and understanding reality”. \n\nThis is not an introduction to anti-racism\, but is intended for people who have engaged in some previous anti-racism training. If you are not sure if your previous anti-racism work has prepared you for this session\, contact Thérèse Samuel tsamuel@united-church.ca  \n  \nRegistration information coming soon.
