Chris says that when they began training with Crossroads, they envisioned that they would soon be joined by pairs of new trainers in each of the regional clusters (groups of regions that are geographically contiguous). That has not yet happened.
Training with Crossroads is about a 2.5 year and $36,000 investment. Most of the training is modeling, experimenting, evaluating, adjusting and repeating that cycle.
A resolution will be offered in the General Assembly to use Reconciliation offering money to staff the office of Reconciliation in DHM and 50% to fund regional programs.
If that goes through, what would it be like to plan to partially fund a pair of trainers (one person of color and one "white" person) to serve church and non-for-profit and government entities in Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa? If we coordinated planning and funding with a variety of church organizations, over a period of 2 years, I'm sure that we could raise the $72K to do that.
Oh, and PS. Does anyone have Devoree Crist's email address? My notebook is still lost.
