racial justice
Last month the Rev. Dr. Elizabeth E. Coleman, pastor of the Northwest Presbyterian Church in St. Petersburg, Florida, attended the annual Black Theology and Leadership Institute (BTLI) hosted by Princeton Theological Seminary. Coleman’s attendance was possible thanks to a woman’s leadership development grant from the Women’s Leadership Development and Young Women’s Ministries, part of Racial Equity & Women’s Intercultural Ministries (RE&WIM). Funds for the grant were raised through #Give8/28 during the 2020 Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Week of Action.
Some pastors of mostly white congregations are struggling to engage their members in the work of racial justice.
One good way to live out its embodiment is for the church to speak the truth in love.
A northern Illinois congregation embraced the Matthew 25 call to build congregational vitality and began by updating their mission statement.
The work of the Church moves us towards the day when people will come from all corners of the world to feast at a common table.
As the Bearing Witness team prepares for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Week of Action, August 23-29, efforts to ensure that Racial Equity & Women’s Intercultural Ministries (RE&WIM) can continue to develop leaders of color within the denomination are well under way.
In working for racial justice, it’s not just about us; we must also include God in the equation.
There’s no doubt that the Tulsa race massacre was one of the most reprehensible moments in the history of the nation. Known as America’s “Black Wall Street,” the Greenwood district of Tulsa, Oklahoma was burned to the ground in the Tulsa race massacre on May 31 and June 1, 1921, in which white residents massacred as many as 300 Black residents, injuring hundreds more, and leaving 5,000 people homeless. As the country commemorates the 100th anniversary of the massacre this week, the situation begs the question: Were was the church and what was the church’s role in the ensuing events?
Imagine Tulsa 21 and the Network for Dismantling Racism (N4dR) hosted the first of three events to mark the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre.
The Synod of the Sun will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, “the single worst incident of racial violence in American history.”
