ACREC: Calling all Presbyterians to action

The Covenant Network joins with the PCUSA's Advocacy Committee on Racial Ethnic Concerns in lamenting that "Ours is a nation entrenched in systems of privilege and power that perpetuate racial injustice."  ACREC,  declaring that "as people of faith, we have no choice but to take a stand against this and in favor of the inclusive and equitable love of Jesus Christ," has issued a powerful call to all Presbyterians, and particularly the majority who identify as white, "to join us in breaking silence. Commit with us to raise our collective voice not just to proclaim the good news of God’s grace but to call out injustice, to call out the forces that threaten to tear us apart with xenophobic, racist, and islamophobic rhetoric. May we have the courage."Read the full statement:https://covnetpres.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/71/2016/09/0916-ACREC-Statement-on-Standing-Rock-and-Tulsa.pdf
