The Rocky Mountain Conference Racial Justice Ministry team consists of authorized ministers and lay persons across the conference. The purpose of this team is to empower and challenge local congregations and leaders to recognize systemic racism in their structures and within their local contexts and actively participate in the work of racial justice.
In the Rocky Mountain Conference, we aim to take comprehensive approach to dismantling racism in our midst. Infused into each action of our racial justice ministry are the following tenets:
- Education and Consciousness-Raising: Sharing knowledge about what racism is and the effects of racism
- Faith Formation and Nurture: Cultivate faith that calls out injustice and strengthens resolve for antiracist action
- Activism: Bring attention to injustice through available means
- Reflection and Assessment: Evaluate actions to measure efficacy
