"Caste" Book Study Group

One of the ways we will be preparing for the celebration of Christ’s coming this Christmas, is a Zoom book discussion on the book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, by Isabel Wilkerson.  Advent is a time when we turn our attention to Christ’s second coming.  We look for ways to open our hearts to make ready the path of the Lord in our lives and in our society.  This year we have heard the voice of God in the people who have asked us to look at racism in America. We will actively wait together as we invite the Spirit of Truth to enlighten us and lead us to act from the truths that we will face and embrace. 

“Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and acclaimed author Isabel Wilkerson” explores racism “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, as a key illustration of the way that, beyond the specific categorizations of race or class, this process of creating artificial hierarchies can work to subjugate people in any culture.” (The Guardian)
