Anti-Racism

The Province IV Anti-Racism Ministry Network is conducting a survey in the province to determine what efforts are currently under way in the dioceses to address racism and racial justice issues.

The survey, posted here, has been sent to all bishops and bishops' assistants or canons for them to distribute to the designated person in each diocese responsible for lifting up anti-racism issues.

If you are not sure whether your diocese has a program or process to address racism issues, please download this survey and answer it on behalf of your diocese.
