“Reckoning with Racial Justice”

This video is a conversation between Deborah Novgorodoff, president of our Board of Trustees,  and Coco Brown ___ (aka Cobb), a member of the Board and a primary instigator of our change in name from Thomas Jefferson to All Peoples.  In it, they describe the process that our church went through to change the name, and the growing awareness of and reckoning with racial injustice and white privilege.  We acknowledge the work that we have ahead as we consider how we will live into our new name, All Peoples.
