PC(USA) CHURCHWIDE ANTIRACISM POLICY
Racism is the opposite of what God intends for humanity. It is the rejection of the other, which is entirely contrary to the Word of God incarnate in Jesus Christ. Racism is a lie about our fellow human beings, for it says that some are less than others. Because of our biblical understanding of who God is and what God intends for humanity, the PC(USA) must stand against, speak against and work against racism.
Racial Equity
Committed to building up the church in Christ and bringing God’s love to all humankind in its rich diversity.
To seek, develop and energize diverse leaders who welcome and nurture all people, especially those who are marginalized.
