How to Get Started!
Form a Racial Equity Group
Have you or your congregation recently felt called to dedicate some amount of time, energy, and resources to the cause of racial justice? Have you been asking yourself, what does that even look like in a congregational setting? How do we get started?
This guide was developed by the Minneapolis Area Synod with the purpose of answering your questions and to provide a general process for congregations in the early stages of racial justice work.
Do the Holy Work
Congregations from around the synod have compiled a list of various activities and ministries they have participated in, to further their racial equity work.
Some of these were led by a racial equity team already assembled in the congregation, others were led by dedicated members who wish to make racial equity work integral to the work of the Church.
