Religion and Race
Challenging and equipping the people of The United Methodist Church to be an intentionally diverse body of Christ, the General Commission on Religion and Race offers tools to guide conversations about racial justice, racism and religion. It leads in systemic transformation, monitors for racial equity, equips churches and church leadership in areas of cultural competency, prepares and supports leaders engaging in cross-racial/cross-cultural ministry and serves as a fair-process advocate in matters of racial discrimination.
Our Work
GCORR is committed to equipping churches dismantle racism by championing diversity, equity and inclusion; developing interculturally competent leaders; and catalyzing authentic community. We also address injustice broadly pertaining to issues of poverty, nationalism, tribal conflicts, gender discrimination, homophobia, disability and generational bias.
Our Sacred Journey: Stories of Faith and Culture is a project that is dedicated to celebrating the rich diversity of the United Methodist Church community by sharing stories that reflect our cultural identities, faith journeys, and shared humanity.
