Vital Conversations: Race, Culture, the Church and Human Sexuality
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 presents session 4 of their Racial Justice Webinar Series, taking place on June 2, 2026 at 10AM Eastern time.
The General Council on Religion and Race presents “I Belong: Stories on Resurrection & Belonging”, an Eastertide Devotional in which contributors share personal stories of encountering radical welcome, spiritual homecoming, holy affirmation, or healing made possible through community.
Based on the book written by the Rev. Dr. John Elford, this six-session small group resource will focus on the history and life of The United Methodist Church in the United States, and how anti-Black racism has negatively affected its witness, mission, and trustworthiness.
