Putting on a Coat of Colours
Episode 12 - Belonging and Proximity
This is the first section of a podcast conversation between Pam, Pat, and Roger, three white allies who have been long time members of Coat of Colours. Their journeys to Cathedral of Hope came from different directions. There’s common themes of seeking a place where they could belong, needing a community steeped in activism, looking for genuine expressions of faith, and finding that CoH is unlike any place they had been.
On this 5th anniversary of Coat of Colours, each one also talks about how they came to participate in a group that they initially believed might be a space for Black people only. Each one came to realize that it was in proximity where relationship can be built.
