Reconciliation Special Offering
The Disciples Reconciliation Special Offering supports the Reconciliation Ministry, which seeks to make visible God’s beloved community through Anti-Racism and Pro-Reconciliation initiatives, including education and training. The Offering is received on September 25 and October 2, 2022.
Pro-Reconciliation and Anti-Racism Training
As we seek to be “God’s beloved community of diverse and vibrant Disciple congregations making a difference locally and globally for Christ,” the conversation about race and faith is crucial. To that end, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Georgia is hosting a virtual Pro-Reconciliation and Anti-Racism (PRAR) Training for Clergy, which is required every five years to retain standing. Trainers are Rev. Nathan Hill and Rev. Dr. Marcus Leathers, who both serve as Core Organizers and Trainers for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) Reconciliation Initiative, “Many Members One Table.” Learn more and register here.

Virtual Reconciliation Town Hall: The Conversation Continues
This Town Hall, one of a series that has been convened since 2020, will continue the conversation, prayer, and story-sharing – which is the work – that will bring us closer to Jesus’ prayer that we “may all be one” (John 17:21). The Town Hall is led by the Georgia Region’s Reconciliation Commission as part of Upgrade Thursdays.
Pro-Reconciliation and Anti-Racism Training for Clergy
Georgia Disciples Clergy are required to complete a Pro-Reconciliation/ Anti-Racism Training every five years to retain ministerial standing. Register by October 4 for this virtual training scheduled for Friday evening, October 8 and Saturday morning, October 9.

Reconciliation Virtual Town Hall #2
As Disciples, we have been on a long journey toward racial reconciliation, one that is more urgent following the tragic events and devastating loss of life experienced in 2020. Where do we go from here in the struggle toward racial justice? And how can we approach the task of reconciliation in a new era? From these questions that shape our work, our Georgia Disciples Reconciliation Commission is holding a series of Virtual Town Halls committed to these principles:
• Reconciliation is having difficult conversations.
• Reconciliation is sharing stories.
• Reconciliation is doing the work.
• Reconciliation is sharing the pain and joys of another person who thinks differently than you.
• Reconciliation is praying together.
