GCORR Resources
From advocacy and immigration to monitoring and worship, GCORR has compiled a list of racial ethnic resources for clergy and laity seeking to move the United Methodist Church from racism to relationships.
Advocacy ResourcesEffective advocacy for any just cause must be persuasive, collaborative and resonant with the values, concerns, hopes and aspirations of many people. It also relies on the multidimensional projection of eloquent words and dynamic actions to impact the public conscience, to stir an impassioned response and to bring about substantive change for the better.

Immigration ResourcesUnited Methodist churches throughout the United States are urged to build bridges with immigrants in their local communities, to learn from them, celebrate their presence in the United States and recognize and appreciate the contributions in all areas of life that immigrants bring.

Monitoring ResourcesThe United Methodist Church charged The General Commission on Religion and Race to engage annual conferences, church agencies and affiliated schools of theology in monitoring reviews and follow-up assessments each quadrennium. GCORR assists these ministry partners in monitoring their policies, programs, products, personnel and procedures for racial and ethnic inclusiveness and assists in planning and evaluating efforts toward improvement.

Young Adult ResourcesYouth and young adults are a vital contingent of the United Methodist Church. GCORR is committed to their full inclusion in conversations around race, racism and privilege that occur at every level – in small groups and the classroom as well as the sanctuary and Board Room.

Global RacismAddressing Global Health and Global Racism is one of GCORR's Four Focus Areas. The conditions of health, poverty and race in the U.S. and globally are interconnected, as health disparities among racial /ethnic minority people manifest protracted, institutional racism and economic injustices.

White Anti-Racism/White PriviledgeWhite persons must recognize that racism is part of the White American condition, and that they themselves reap the benefits of and erect institutions bolstered by white racism. One who is truly committed to the fight against racism - as opposed to just waving a banner and avoiding overt acts of discrimination against persons of color - must stand up and confess participation in a system of systemic privilege and become actively anti-racist.
