“Lighting the Path: A Road to Anti-Racism in EDOT,” is a two-part training required of all
Episcopal clergy entering the Diocese of Texas, whether through ordination or transfer. Although the training focuses on the history of injustice against African Americans in our country, state,
and diocese, it is intended to make us reflect more broadly on the unholy use of power to justify
or codify racial prejudice against any group. Our hope is that the training will
raise awareness of our racist past, provoke self-examination of racist attitudes and behaviors, and help clergy to lead communities to become more racially inclusive and committed to racial justice.
