1. How would you describe the sin of racism? (personal and collective)
2. From your childhood, how have you viewed, perceived, and treated people of a
   different race from your own?
3. What has changed or needs to change in you so as not to commit the sin of racism
   from today into the future?

SUGGESTED ACTION
Soul-search and identify an individual who has been a victim of your racism at any point of your life. Reflect on what you did, told them, made them do or not do, in addition to what they suffered as a result of your words, action, or inaction and approach them to make amends.
