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.
GCORR’s work centers around three priorities: supporting and leading vital conversations, developing culturally competent leadership and ministries, and promoting institutional equity while upholding the agency’s historic commitment to racial justice within the Church.
Community and faith leaders discuss race, culture, and faith to uncover the disparities of race, ethnicity, age, and socioeconomic status. While flattening the curve, we must work to close the widening gaps between whites and people of color, the rich and the poor, and other communities experiencing the imbalance in access to resources, opportunity and agency.
