Overview

In this second edition of See Me, Believe Me: An Updated Guide to Deepen Allyship with Congregational Leaders of Color, Rev. Dr. Yolanda Denson-Byers offers an honest and unflinching look at the challenges faced by leaders of color in the predominantly white ELCA. The book contains a new chapter reflecting on the ground-breaking election and leadership of ELCA Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry and includes excerpts from her interview with him. Her insights and concrete suggestions for action illustrate how seeing and believing leaders of color are essential steps in the journey of allyship. Chapters beckon readers to acknowledge ignorance, respect boundaries, join in celebration and lament, offer reparations, and continue doing their own work to dismantle racism and live into the fullness of loving God and neighbor. This book is the essential follow-up to Call to Allyship: Preparing Your Congregation for Leaders of Color, another title in the Mouth House series of books that amplify voices for change.
