This national discussion will center around issues such as:
- What it means to be Black and Catholic in today's world
- The realities that Black Catholic Young Adults face
- What the Church is doing correctly and incorrectly to connect with young adult Black Catholics
- A call to action for the Church as a whole
- A call to the Black Catholic Community to address Black Catholic Youth and Young Adults’ increasing disaffiliation from the Catholic Church
- The members' passion for a Church where Black Catholic Young Adults are genuinely welcomed and accepted as their authentic selves.
This discussion is not an attack, but a reality check. The hope is that institutions and organizations take a hard look at themselves and use the suggestions / plans to create effective change to address realities.
