SUMMARY:Crossing the Chasms
DESCRIPTION:Crossing the Chasms\n			March 7\n	  @\n9:00 am\n	  –\n4:30 pm \n\n			\n		Redeemer Lutheran Church			\n	\n\n631 N. 19th Street\n		\n		Milwaukee\,\n	WI\n	53233\n	United States\n\n\n	+ Google Map \n	 \n\n$90 \n	 \nCrossing the Chasms is facilitated by Rev. Marilyn Miller and Joyce Caldwell\, PhD. The daylong workshop is grounded in the biblical story of The Rich Man and Lazarus and examines the chasms of separation in our communities. Learning is situated in stories of participants\, the Bible\, and history. Through reflection on those stories\, participants examine the construction and meaning of racism and the part we all play in upholding and maintaining the system. We will begin to identify steps and opportunities to grow in both understanding and action. \nThis event is limited to 35 participants. \n					\n									Register

Drawing on scripture\, Lutheran theology\, and contemporary cultural wisdom\, the program creates intimate\, joy-centered spaces for lay leaders and participants to engage in courageous conversation. \n  \nAt its heart\, Brews and Bias equips ordinary disciples to lead conversations about justice\, equity\, and reconciliation—over something as simple as a brew. Whether coffee\, tea\, or another beverage\, the ritual of gathering becomes a doorway into transformation. \n  \nBrews and Bias is not just another program—it is an invitation into the sacred work of building beloved community\, one cup and one conversation at a time. In these ambiguous times we have the opportunity to work together\, equipping disciples to lead with courage\, joy\, and faith in the gospel’s liberating power. This training is intended for congregational leaders to be prepared to lead a series of Brews and Bias conversations in their own congregations and communities. \n. \nProgram Model & Goals\nPart 1: Online Foundations (4 Hours Across 4 Sessions) \n\n\nTheological grounding: scripture\, justice\, and MLK’s vision of Beloved Community \n\n\nUnderstanding bias: implicit\, systemic\, and cultural \n\n\nProgram orientation: session flow and facilitation basics \n\n\nInteractive components: scenario practice\, journaling\, and online community engagement \n\n\nPart 2: In-Person Activation (4 Hours) Location: TBD \n\n\nFacilitation skills: trauma-informed leadership\, active listening\, managing conflict \n\n\nMini-session experience: modeling a condensed Brews and Bias gathering \n\n\nLaunch planning: practical guidance on hosting groups \n\n\nCommissioning: blessing and sending leaders into this work \n\n\n\nPlease note: there are four recorded sessions that each participant will need to complete by November 15th.
