Talk 6 - "Humility and Antiracism" | Kno...

Humility plays a vital role in anti-racism work. Intellectual and moral humility allows individuals to admit complicity in a culture of racism and commit themselves to the ongoing struggle of anti-racism. By looking at the Call of Simon Peter, contemplating the story of Martha and Mary, and meditating on what it means to be “childlike,” Sullivan McCormick, SJ, invites us to reflect on where in our lives we might need more humility as anti-racists.    

Reflection verses and questions:  

• Where do I need more humility (intellectual and/or moral) in my life as an anti-racist?   

Call of Simon the Fisherman (Luke 5: 1-11) 

• How is Peter a model for moral humility in anti-racism work?  
• How can I learn from Peter?
