Committee on Racial Healing
Mission Statement
Prompted by the Spirit, we desire to reconnect the journey of our four Congregations by participating in a process of building right relationships, healing and reconciliation in an effort to eradicate racism within ourselves, our Congregations, and beyond.
Goals:
-
To continue to share the richness of our Congregational histories and educate ourselves on how the dynamics of racism have shaped us as individuals and as congregations.
-
To address the sin of racism by promoting systemic change within our congregational, ecclesial, and societal structures.
Strategies:
-
To create opportunities for meaningful conversation regarding the above goals.
-
To utilize the inter-congregational Oblate.IHM website for information-sharing and advocacy efforts.
-
To offer on an on-going basis inter-congregational events and/or reflection opportunities that will promote these goals.
-
To recommend to the Board of Directors possible actions that will continue to build relationships among the four congregations and/or that address the sin of racism.
