Pro-Reconciliation / Anti-Racism Training
One of the missional priorities of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is to be a Pro-Reconciling/Anti-Racist church. We have lived that priority out in different ways here in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the Southwest. At the September 2020 Regional Committee on Ministry session the Committee established the requirement for Pro-Reconciliation/Anti-Racism training for any clergy wishing to hold standing in the Christian Church in the Southwest.

Regional anti-racism training will function on a three-year cycle, you will need to complete a Regional anti-racism training once every three years to maintain your standing.
