CALL TO ACTION

In order to live fully into our values as followers of Jesus, Epiphany’s racial justice group (RJG) is committed to pursuing racial equity and bringing an end to white supremacy. We uphold the dignity of all human beings when we expose racist ideas and policies that are based on a hierarchy of human value and when we actively engage in anti-racist work.  Through vigorous learning, challenging discussion, and personal growth, we hope to better understand the ways in which we each benefit from and are harmed by racial oppression.  While we accept this as lifelong work, we believe that every step in the process of new understanding can be transformative.

 

We invite the parish to engage in racial justice work individually and collectively, within our families, our church, and the broader community. This page provides an evolving set of resources for learning and action, so please visit often. In addition, look for informational articles and opportunities for active engagement in the Epiphany Star newsletter. We gratefully welcome you on this journey and invite your feedback. Please reach out to any member of the group below with suggestions or questions. Contact information is in the parish directory.

Monthly Meetings

The Racial Justice Group (RJG) meets 2nd Tuesdays at 7 p.m. Called by our baptismal covenant to strive for justice and peace among all people and to respect the dignity of every human being, the RJG is focused on lifelong learning and action steps we can take as individuals and as a church community to help achieve racial equity and justice. All are welcome.
