This module will explore how race and racism influence the way ministry is exercised in local congregations. Learners will identify behaviors that perpetuate racism within religious settings, particularly focusing on the Church of England. Through reflection on life stories of marginalization, learners will gain insights into how these narratives can help us tell our own stories. Remember to engage with the material actively and consider how these insights can be applied in your own community.

This module focuses on understanding the lived experiences of minority groups using narratives and grassroots methodologies. Learners will develop an understanding of group dynamics and how cultural capital and institutional habitus impact hierarchical structures in organizations, society, and community settings. The module will also provide materials to raise awareness of other people's experiences through case studies and personal narratives. Reflect on how these insights can be used to promote inclusivity and understanding in your own community.
