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.
The General Commission on Religion and Race highlights the work of Angela Molloy, a disabled fifth-generation Methodist, PhD student, and disability ministry leader. Drawing from experiences of ableism in the church, her research explores moral injury and advocates for more inclusive faith communities for disabled and queer people.
This year, the General Commission on Religion and Race (GCORR) is celebrating our 58th anniversary. Since 1968, the General Commission on Religion and Race has been at the forefront of the Church’s work of inclusion, equity, and justice. Today, we invite you to give $58 or more as a donation to GCORR to help continue this important work.
The General Commission on Religion and Race presents No Other Gods, a worship resource offering a theologically grounded litany, Great Thanksgiving, and four-week sermon series framework for congregations reflecting on faithful discipleship, national identity, and the call to worship God above all else.
