Because we believe that God is the Creator of all people
and all are God’s children in one family . . .
we commit ourselves to follow Jesus Christ
in word and in deed and to struggle for the rights and
the self-determination of every person and group of persons.

The Charter for Racial Justice is a crucial document developed by this organization decades ago. It was created to address and combat racism within the church and society. The charter emphasizes the belief that all people are God’s children and that racism is a rejection of Jesus Christ’s teachings. You may read this one page document here.
