Mission Statement

The goal of the Commission to End Racism is to educate people so that they become more aware of the divisiveness (sin) of racism and are able to confront it. Living out this mission takes many forms: working to understand how racism affects our own lives, and carrying the message to the church and to the world that hatred and discrimination are wrong. Living out this mission takes training, education, passion, creativity, and prayer.

The Commission puts on anti-racism workshops, called "Seeing the Face of God in Each Other" at least twice a year in different locations through out the Diocese. The workshops were developed by The Social Justice Department of The Episcopal Church Center in 2003. The Commission tries to raise people's awareness by celebrating the anniversary of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s death on April 4th with a Walk.
