REGISTER TODAY! As Presbyterians seek to create spaces where diverse voices can seek God’s will together, one cultural default often stands in the way: implicit bias.

Confronting implicit bias—which the National Institutes of Health defines as “bias that occurs automatically and unintentionally, that nevertheless affects judgments, decisions and behaviors”—is the focus of the upcoming “Practicing Inclusion: A Leader Formation Webinar,” on October 13, 2022. The webinar, for ruling elders and deacons, will last from 7:00 to 8:30 pm (eastern time). Register at https://bit.ly/lf-webinars.
