Out of these trainings came a great many comments and expressions of thanks in regard to our facilitation; here are the most prevalent ones:

· Appreciated our use of biblical principles and scripture

· Appreciated our non-threatening approach in dealing with racism and our heartfelt passion for all (including other “isms”) (a few felt otherwise)

· Appreciated the balance of sociology and theology / knowledge and passion

· Appreciated the balance of a bi-ethnic couple

· Appreciated humor infused

· Appreciated the personal challenges

· Appreciated the personal aspects infused with insight

Other comments, which were personal and introspective in nature, spoke of what the trainings provoked in them as participants:

· Becoming more aware of their own unintentional prejudice

· Looking for ways to lead by example in teaching and preaching and use of scripture

· Looking for more inclusive curricula for congregations

· Having these trainings in individual churches and small group dialogues

· Submitting to the Holy Spirit in introspection

· Becoming more intentional in dealing with racism personally and in ministry

· Getting out of their comfort zones

One comment in particular was worthy of special mention:

“I attended the ‘Dismantling Racism’ seminar at on Saturday (5/10/08) as the last piece I needed to take for my Certified Lay Minister training. I went with some resistance as I do not consider myself racially prejudiced and was not sure how you could drag ‘love thy neighbor as thyself’ out to 5 hours long.

I wish we could have gone on another 5 hours! You brought up thoughts from different perspectives that I had never heard before. Always the seminars at work start from a "don't go there and don't say that" basis and only treat the outward actions....you made it clear, we were free to talk about anything without fear and you went right to the heart and mind issues that are causing the actions. I learned a lot and hope to be able to spread some of the concepts as I have opportunity, especially with young people....thanks again.”
