The COVID-19 crisis has both produced and revealed a number of racial disparities. People of color are disproportionately affected by both the disease itself and by the measures we are taking to slow its spread. We are saddened to learn that some of our brothers and sisters in Christ are experiencing discrimination and stigma because of racialized rhetoric around coronavirus. We can bring racial justice and healing by pushing back against these types of comments.

We'd like to invite you to learn more about these impacts and then think and pray about how we might respond as individuals and as a group. If you have resources to share, stories of how you or someone you know has been impacted, or ideas for how we might respond, please email This email address is being protected from spambots.
