Unconscious Bias, Diversity, and Compassion

Sunday, April 30, 2017
10:30 am - 11:30 am

About our Service:

Rev. Laurie will examine our innate unconscious biases, how they help shape how we interpret Deity, and what they mean for our daily life. Learn to recognize unconscious bias. Understand how humans interpret Deity. Recognize how that affects our interactions with Deity, each other, and the world around us.
