The Moderator Reflects on Anti-Black Racism
In the wake of the terrible acts of anti-Black racism over the last week in North America, the Moderator reflects on the anti-Black racism that pervades our nation and our church, and asks what we can do to shed light on ourselves, our systems and our practices, and take action to correct them.
The Church and Anti-Racism
The horrific death of Mr. George Floyd at the hands of police in the United States, and the circumstances surrounding the death of Ms. Regis Korchinski-Paquet in Toronto, are calls for racial justice. This statement affirms the church's anti-racist position, that black lives matter, and to say anything other rejects the biblical affirmation that all are lovingly made in the image of God.
