Eastern PA Conference of the UMCReligion & Race
The Eastern PA Conference Commission on Religion and Race strives to further the UMC General Commission’s mission and vision in our region and context. We see the creation of learning opportunities, the dissemination of resources and the communication of continued dialogues, trainings and workshops, sponsored by other entities throughout the conference, as the scope of our work.

A Statement and Call to Respond to Racism in Our Current Political DiscourseDo you accept the freedom and power God gives you to resist evil, injustice and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves? I do. “The Renunciation of Sin” is a fundamental promise in The United Methodist Church’s covenant of baptism and membership vows.  Stoking racist fears and slandering sisters and brothers of color are indeed evil sins that we are called to resist. Are we, as a nation, not better than this? Are we, who profess to be disciples of Jesus Christ and followers of his teachings, not better than this? And should we not demand more civility and fair-minded integrity of our elected leaders—especially of one whose responsibility is to represent the cherished values of our nation on behalf of all Americans? It is dishonest, hypocritical and repugnant to claim that four racial-ethnic women who were elected to represent their diverse constituents in Congress “hate America” and are “incapable of loving America,” merely because they criticize administration policies, priorities and actions. Such a claim is itself un-American. Northeastern Jurisdiction Call to Action Resolution & Response
