Focus, Purpose, or Goal: Grace and Race Ministries, Inc. is an ecumenical ministry developed to equip and empower participants to provide leadership to help foster racial understanding, healing and reconciliation. Reconciliation requires an individual willingness to be transformed.
The scripture reference for this ministry is found in 2 Corinthians 5:20-21: “Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled…”
The grace of God empowers us to do great things. The “church” has the opportunity to help strengthen our communities by increasing the attention given to racial understanding, healing and reconciliation as a means to live out our Christian beliefs. Two fundamental understandings inform the ministry: (1) Race, gender and power must all be addressed in the ongoing process of moving toward racial understanding and reconciliation, (2) reconciliation is never possible without truth.
