    I haven’t really read much on your web site. I’m very supportive of what you’re trying to do, however, as a visualy impaired person I would like to know why you desigend a web page with such light print that I find it very, very difficult to read. If you have something important to say why don’t you say it in black and white so visually impaired people and senior citizens can read it?

    Robert,

    We are in the process of making the site more accessible for the visually-impaired. Stick with us for the changes.

    If there is a mailing list that would send updates from the website, I would love to recieve them. I am being trained by Lutheran Human Relations Association to be a workshop facilitator. The next phase of my training will be to attend Crossroads workshop in January. I understand that this is also a requirement to serve on the Synod’s anti-racism team. Once accomplished I would be delighted to join the team.

    Blessings,

    Marnie Rourke

    I, too, would appreciate updates from this website, as well as word on who to contact regarding using your copyrighted materials. You have excellent resources. I would like to use your stone meditation, and perhaps other materials at a four-state (U.S.) conference which is our first joint step toward increasing cultural proficiency and fighting racism in our synods. I am an assistant to the bishop of the Arkansas-Oklahoma Synod. My phone number is ###-###-####. Thanks for any help you can provide.
