Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Arts & Culture, Behavioral Science, Children & Youth, Civil Rights, Cultural & Ethnic Awareness, Youth Development - Citizenship
Mission: Empowered by the gospel of jesus christ, the mission of the lutheran human relations association is to bring people together to do justice by breaking down hostilities and fears between peoples; bridging the racial, cultural, gender, age, ability, class, and other separations in our society; and building up the human community.
Programs: The regarding bridges programs offer experience and training in transcending cultural barriers and overcoming stereotypes, misinformation, and fears in order to move towards relationships that are meaningful and mutually supportive. The bridges of human community trainings/workshops include several opportunities for congregations or groups who want to engage in introductory to advanced understanding of the dynamics of racism and other human oppressions. Basic concepts and models of racial identity development are explored and discussed using a holistic approach to learning including use of scripture as story and teacher, current psychological and social analysis tools, and small group discussion. Lhra also provided a two-day introductory program to southwest wisconsin congregations that teaches basic anti-racism/anti-oppression concepts and provides biblical exploration and understanding for examining how we, our cultures, and institutions function compared to god's plan for reconciliation with god and with each other. Lhra also provided an advanced two-day training program for seminary students that explored a deeper understanding of the personal, cultural, and institutional conditions that keep us bound to racist/oppressive/internalized behaviors, and begin developing, continue work on or evaluate current plans to break these behavioral bonds, build new mind sets, ways of behaving, and create anti-racist/anti-oppressive practices and policies.
