The Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference, Inc. (SDPC), in collaboration with the Center for Reparatory Justice, Transformation, and Remediation (CRJTR), joins Dr. David Ragland in “committing to introspection, education, and reflection,” excavating historical direct or indirect complicity towards systems of oppression. This time of remembrance began December 2, 2022 with the UN International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, which speaks to current forms of slavery such as sexual exploitation, trafficking of persons, and forced marriages, to name a few. The season of Remembrance concludes with a culture of reparations weekend calling for interfaith spaces to lift up the need for reparations and reparatory justice. #ReparationsSunday is December 18, 2022, and all are invited to embrace a liturgy that speaks to a path forward called reparatory justice. Here are a toolkit and liturgical resources for a myriad of faith traditions.
