SUMMARY:Implicit Bias Training--THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
DESCRIPTION:Rev. Kathleen Weber\, District Superintendent for the Crest to Coast District and the Crest to Coast Missional District invite you to attend: \nImplicit Bias Training \nThe Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity defines Implicit bias as the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding\, actions\, and decisions in an unconscious manner. In this workshop that meets the PNW quadrennial cultural competency training requirement for clergy\, we will spend time understanding and examining the implicit bias that we carry. The day will be divided into three areas of exploration: 1) personal reflection around race\, and to a lesser degree class\, lens and background; 2)historical events\, policies\, etc. that determined the trajectory of race and class in our nation and make connections to current day status quo; and 3) organization and person next steps and commitments. There will be time for individual reflection\, small group time\, whole group sharing and another solo reflection time to integrate new learnings on our own. \n\nAnita Garcia Morales\nMeet Your Presenter \nAnita Garcia Morales grew up in a migrant farm worker family in Eastern Washington. She served Seattle Public Schools for 35 years\, with the first 22 as a classroom teacher. When she retired in 2016\, Anita was an Equity & Race Relations Specialist and co-designed and co-facilitated racial equity training for all levels of district staff. \nNow an independent consultant\, Anita continues this work with organizations looking to make systemic change. Anita is a Senior Trainer with Class Action\, a non-profit whose mission is to inspire action to end classism (www.classism.org).

SUMMARY:Clergy Wellness Workshop - Substance Use Disorders: A Primer for Clergy
DESCRIPTION:The opioid crisis has dominated headlines in recent years\, but addiction of any kind is a concern for families\, communities\, and even the church. Many of us do not understand the power that substances can have in people’s lives. Addiction to drugs\, alcohol\, or other substances can result in shame or blame and impacts every aspect of users’ lives. Loved ones suffer the pain and fear of watching their family member spiral out of control. Clergy may be confronted with people in their congregations who suffer with addiction and/or their family members (or ours) who need help knowing how to respond appropriately. We may not be able to fix the problem\, but with this webinar\, we might be more informed\, more supportive\, and less judgmental. Topics addressed will be: What is a substance use disorder? What are the common signs and symptoms? How might we help the substance user or their family members? What resources are available for recovery? \nCLICK HERE to register!\n\nPresenter: \nPastor Daniel Miranda earned his M. Div. from Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas. He also has a graduate certificate in Addiction Studies from Eastern Washington University. He has served as pastor\, overseas missionary in Japan and the Philippines\, and over a decade as a drug and alcohol counselor in hospital and clinic settings in both inpatient and outpatient services in Wisconsin and Washington. \nThis is part of an ongoing series of web-based ZOOM workshops on clergy wellness\, hosted by the Formation Committee of the Board of Ordained Ministry. A minimum of 10 participants are required to register for this event to take place; a maximum of 16 participants may register. Registration will close on Friday\, November 8.
