Anti-Racism

We are an anti-racism, pro-reconciliation church

Sunday, June 7th, Pastor Jesse showed a video from our General Minister and President, Rev. Terri Hord Owens, and Rev. April Johnson, Minister of Reconciliation. In this letter, there is a place to sign proclaiming and reinforcing our commitment to be a anti-racism, pro-reconciliation church. Here is that link: https://disciples.org/congregations/we-need-to-be-the-church-we-say-we-are/
​
Below is a snippet of the letter.
...Disciples, we call ourselves a Pro-Reconciling, Anti-Racist church. We have named it as a mission priority, and we have worked hard – though often imperfectly – to live that out in every expression of our ministry. In this moment, when protests rage and our hearts are broken again and again, we need to be the church we say we are.
--​ Yours in Christ,
Rev. Terri Hord Owens, General Minister and President
Rev. April Johnson, Minister of Reconciliation
