Evaluate an Anti-racism Framework

Please email comments to letters@livingchurch.org.

The Executive Council Committee on Anti-Racism seeks responses on A Framework for Anti-Racism and Racial Reconciliation Training in the Episcopal Church.

The committee welcomes responses via email and the deadline is May 10.

“The Framework for Anti-Racism and Racial Reconciliation Training was produced over the past year based on the experiences of ECCAR members, with input of many people from across the church,” said James T. McKim Jr., chairman of the committee.

“The purpose of this document is to set the standard for capabilities we feel people should have to do this work on behalf of the church. The purpose of this release is to be an introduction to the framework and to obtain feedback before final publishing.”

General Convention will consider the framework in July.
