Racial Justice Initiative at All Saints' Church
'
The Racial Justice Initiative is an outgrowth of the strong commitment to inclusive community and equality outlined in the Racial Justice Statement adopted by All Saints' in July of 2020. The mission of the RJI is to empower the people of All Saints' to be agents of racial justice in our church and in our community.
Our vision of All Saints is of “a church where people can have hard conversations about race with dignity and love, where everyone has a seat at the table, including youth, where the full diversity of the church is immediately apparent--in the people present, in the images in the church, and in liturgy; where we are seen as being an action-oriented congregation with respect to racial justice and other disparities in society".
The RJI is also a member of Faith Communities For Just Reentry, sponsored by Trinity Church, which supports legislation in NYC to ensure access to housing and health care for formerly incarcerated people.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to get involved!
