General Conference 2012

The General Commission on Religion and Race (GCORR) celebrates what has been done to build the beloved community. Because human efforts fall short of God’s vision, the General Commission on Religion and Race stands open to a new vision, new dreams and a renewed Spirit that will further the United Methodist Church in racial equity and justice as we make prophetic disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

As the general agency responsible for challenging the Church to live in this new dimension and to model the beloved community, we must prepare for a new future, a new reality.
