Episcopal Task Force on Race and Culture Named

In response to continued conversation and action as it relates to race and ethnicity, Bishop Robert Farr announces the formation of a Task Force on Race and Culture. In consultation with Conference leadership, Bishop Farr invited members of the group to help lead change in the areas of bias, racism and creating a culture that values “unity in Christ and diversity in the Kingdom.” The task force will include four areas of work: Beloved Community, Leadership and Recruitment, Equity Work and Training and Accountability.
