Recall and Response: GCORR's Advocacy Blog
As we wrestle with our past, face emerging challenges in our present, and discern God’s call for the future, the General Commission on Religion and Race is committed to living CORR{ageously}! as we move the United Methodist Church from racism to relationships.
Recall & Response will be a place for relevant commentary, lively debate, and building community as we share and discuss current events in the life of the church and world, popular culture and emerging issues that may not get much attention in popular media. It will also complement GCORR’s website as an online space for updates on how the United Methodist Church faces and lives our call to racial-ethnic inclusiveness and justice.
