Mosaic Task Force

Purpose

The Mosaic Task Force is charged with helping the diocese become more hospitable in an increasingly diverse world and to become more aware of the presence of structural and institutional racism within the Church. This is done be bringing together members of different congregations for the common growth of the diocese as it lives out its mission and ministry.

Congregational Resource

Traces of the Trade is available for congregations to check out at no cost and view. The materials include a program guide for discussion.

Resource Links

  • Epistles and Prophets - a free adult education curriculum from Trinity Wall Street that explores contemporary issues through the words of Martin Luther King Jr., James Baldwin, Thomas Merton and Ruby Sales. The series is video based (online) and provides guided questions .
  • Episcopal Resources for Racial Reconciliation and Justice​
  • Seeing the Face of God in Each Other
  • On Behalf of Our Children: Wisconsin’s Racial Disparities and the Call of the Gospel​ - A Study-Action Guide for Wisconsin Congregations from the Wisconsin Council of Churches
  • Loving Our Interfaith Neighbors - A Study-Action Guide for Wisconsin Congregations from the Wisconsin Council of Churches

Past Events

The Task Force developed a training program on “the Church’s teaching on racism” per the Canons of the Episcopal Church – III.6.5.(g).(4) and III.8.5.(h).(4) which was used at the Clergy Continuing Education in Fall 2017. It included an awareness building workshop based in the Roots of Justice (formerly Damascus Road) dismantling racism training as well as a viewing of The Traces of the Trade.

In 2016, the Mosaic Task Force held “Engaging One Another Across Our Differences” for laity and clergy in each deanery of the diocese. Each session was facilitated by Laura Smythe, an attorney, mediator and professor who addresses topics of cultures and change, critical thinking, creative problem solving and social diversity. She addressed how our upbringing, our cultural background and societal trends have formed values around race which affect our relationships more than we assume.
Being a people of God's mercy and delight through vital congregations, prayer and worship and missionary church.
