Description of Activity
If you perceive that the group may be uncomfortable with the simulation or has too few people for an effective simulation, use this case study exercise instead to engage participants in a congregational problem and its potential antiracist/multicultural solutions.
Form four groups of nearly equal size. Distribute Handout 7, Creating a Case Study and Handout 8, Case Study Suggestions. Invite each group to follow the instructions and develop a case study. Tell them they may choose one of the suggested case studies in Handout 8 or create one from their own experience in the congregation.
