Resources
The Truth-Seeking & Truth-Telling Initiative is committed to ensuring that the truth is told and that learning happens, and that those of you who seek to learn more will also seek to share by hosting educational tables at events (e.g., synod assemblies, etc.), leading workshops at events or at your congregations, or leading your congregation or organization through a learning process over time.
Here you will find resources to assist you with these important truth-telling opportunities.
