GCORR invites you to use this Lenten devotional, “Learning Together: A Lenten Exploration of Anti-Racist Values in Matthew, Mark, & Luke,” for personal or congregational use.
This devotional was inspired by a desire to showcase, through the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), Jesus’ faithful demonstration and engagement of anti-racist values – values of shared power, shared responsibility and authority, and openness and curiosity.
These values are antithetical to the values by which our society is shaped and ruled– values such as power hoarding, individualism, and holding to one right way for doing everything.
Along with the New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition (NRSVUE) and New International Version (NIV), the First Nations Version (FNV), an Indigenous translation of the New Testament, was also used for this Lenten devotional writing.
The purpose of the devotional is three-fold:
To gain a basic biblical understanding that anti-racist values are central to Jesus’ ministry and the gospel message
To integrate anti-racist values and actions into our respective faith journeys
To transform how we engage our faith journeys that reflect the values of this world rather than the values of Jesus
The devotional is structured to follow the six weeks of Lent.The format for each day is as follows:
Opening prayer
Scripture
Short meditation
Closing prayer

The General Commission on Religion and Race offers this seven-part curriculum as a first step in understanding what racism is, how it has and still shows up in the church and society, and how it impacts and impedes the integrity and effectiveness of God’s people gathered as the church. This resource is designed primarily for use by small groups—church school classes, campus ministries, clergy support groups, congregational leadership teams, and community-wide, faith-based groups—in spaces where most of the participants are white.
This is an entry-level curriculum for people who are unsure about what racism is and its relevance to individuals, church, and society; this is not a “train the trainer” course or one that confers “expert” status on leaders or participants. Rather, this resource is for Christian people who are ready to learn about how racism operates, how it affects Christian communities, and how people of faith can begin to recognize and address racism.
After purchasing the product, you will receive an email with a link to download You Are Here. You will download a ZIP file where you can access all of the curriculum files.
Please note the following pricing based on church size:
1-100 members: $99
101-200 members: $149
