Religion and Race
Challenging and equipping the people of The United Methodist Church to be an intentionally diverse body of Christ, the General Commission on Religion and Race offers tools to guide conversations about racial justice, racism and religion. It leads in systemic transformation, monitors for racial equity, equips churches and church leadership in areas of cultural competency, prepares and supports leaders engaging in cross-racial/cross-cultural ministry and serves as a fair-process advocate in matters of racial discrimination.
Our Work
GCORR is committed to equipping churches dismantle racism by championing diversity, equity and inclusion; developing interculturally competent leaders; and catalyzing authentic community. We also address injustice broadly pertaining to issues of poverty, nationalism, tribal conflicts, gender discrimination, homophobia, disability and generational bias.
The Vital Conversations on Immigration series was developed by the General Commission on Religion and Race to help local churches explore a sacred calling: a Church that embodies justice, mercy, and hospitality.
The Commission on Religion and Race invites all cross-racial and cross-cultural ministry clergy to the Facing the Future Conference being held in Los Angeles, CA on October 7 - 9, 2025.
The General Commission on Religion and Race provides a variety of articles and courses to highlight Hispanic Heritage month and uplift Hispanic heritage throughout the year.
