Racial Justice

The United Church of Canada has a long history of engagement with social justice issues, rooted in the social gospel movement of the early 20th century. Building on this tradition, the 37th General Council in 2000 recognized the need to address racism within and outside ourselves, and adopted the Anti-Racism Policy That All May Be One.

Resources

  • Ending Racial Harassment: Creating Healthy Congregations (2008) offers guidelines to help church members, ministers, and congregational committees recognize, understand, and stop racial harassment. A workshop outline is included to facilitate group study. This booklet can be ordered from UCRD or downloaded as a PDF.
  • Brochures with the full text of "That All May Be One" are available in English from the Racial Justice Office, and in French from the Unité des Ministères en Français.
  • That All May Be One: A Resource for Educating toward Racial Justice (The United Church of Canada, 2004). This resource contains a range of materials, including personal and group stories, theological reflections, workshop designs, and awareness raising exercises for people who experience racism and people who experience White privilege. It can be ordered from UCRD or your local presbytery resource centre.
