Equity for All of God's
Beloved Creation
The Racial Equity Team leads, coordinates, and develops resources and actions for the congregations of the Metropolitan D.C. Synod to confront racism and white supremacy in our society, communities, and ourselves; freeing us to live out our baptismal promises by centering equity and justice in our Church and the world.
For more information about the Racial Equity Team or to get involved in the team’s efforts, please contact Rev. Karen Brau at racialequity@metrodcelca.org.
Join a Sacred Ground Small Group
In this film-based dialog series on race and faith, small groups are invited to walk back through history and reflect on the situations and circumstances that have contributed to where we find ourselves today, including current challenges and divisions. You are invited to reflect on our personal family histories and stories, as well as important narratives that shape the collective American story.
Originally created by the Episcopal Church, the series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.

Join the Racial Equity Network
The Racial Equity Network was formed in conjunction with the synod's Racial Equity Team to provide a dedicated space to share the joys, struggles and opportunities in this most holy work for racial equity and justice in the world. This network meets on Zoom once a quarter and also has a private Facebook group to share, learn and discuss.
ELCA's Truth & Healing Movement
The ELCA’s Truth & Healing Movement is an opportunity for this church to increase our understanding of our colonizing impacts on Indigenous people in the past and present.
There are opportunities to learn, raise awareness and engage in other ways to impact hearts and lives across this church. We believe that the truth, and our knowing and embracing it, is the first step toward healing for all of us.
