Why racial healing and justice? The answer is found in our baptismal identity, most fully articulated in our Baptismal Covenant (BCP 304-5). Why now? Because injustices long accepted as normal no longer are invisible or below our consciousness. The right time to “do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God” always is the present moment. We cannot change the past; the future, however, can be made better.
This group is working collaboratively to shape this ministry, and we invite your participation. This group meets to lend mutual support and guidance, to connect around common passions and interests, and to discern the path that leads to racial healing and justice where we are. Many small groups are forming to pursue common interests in community.
Drawing guidance from The Episcopal Church’s Becoming Beloved Community framework, we strive to discern individually and collectively how to: 1) tell the truth about our church and race, 2) proclaim the dream of beloved community, 3) practice the Way of Love in the pattern of Jesus, and 4) repair the breach in our institutions and society.
