This page is dedicated to the ongoing work of Racial Justice, and our synod's resources to help all of us hold important conversations on this troubling issue in our society. Engaging these resources will allow for us to share the Gospel, to shine the light in the darkness. We know that this work is not in vain. We engage, for we are called to seek justice in all the earth.
These links below will help you navigate all of our resources. You may also use the links in the blue menu on the right (or at the bottom of the page, for those on mobile devices)
