Reconciliation
The Reconciliation Commission works to advance the journey toward racial reconciliation by empowering the Regional Church and Georgia Disciples congregations to implement structural change to address historic fractures caused by racism and the systems that perpetuate it. Doing the work includes conversation, inclusive worship and prayer, and shared experiences of mission and ministry.
Reconciliation Ministry
An Anti-Racism/Pro-Reconciliation Initiative was initiated by the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in 1998. More than two decades later, its purpose is more critical than ever, calling Disciples to practice faithfulness with regard to the elimination of racism, which exists in all manifestations of the church; to discern the presence and nature of racism as sin; to develop strategies to eradicate it; and to work toward racial reconciliation.
