Justice Stories: Work of the Church

At the Absalom Jones Episcopal Center for Racial Healing, we believe that stories are the currency of dignity and the foundation of authentic change. A Justice Story is any account of how your parish, diocese, or community is engaging in the work of racial healing—through action, reflection, liturgy, advocacy, or formation.

Justice Stories matter because this work cannot be done alone. By sharing your story, you help create a clearinghouse of ideas, practices, and inspiration across the Episcopal Church and beyond. Together, we can learn from one another, strengthen our commitment, and walk more faithfully toward God’s vision of justice and reconciliation.

Share your Justice Story. How is your community working toward dignity, healing, and God’s justice?

The Episcopal Diocese of Oregon

Beloved Community on Campus is an experimental approach to campus ministry in the diocese  that begins with the question: What does it mean to create Beloved Community on a college campus? Our two-fold mission: • To engage the broader student body by hosting Beloved Community dialogues on campus with national and regional faith leaders and justice workers, college faculty, and community members. • To offer opportunities for worship and fellowship that introduce students to Episcopal liturgy and practice. We are seeking to build relationships with other campus ministries that are excited by this new approach.

The Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin

The Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin, located in Province 8, has recently appointed the Anti-Racism & Racial Reconciliation Commission. Our ministry is four-fold: 1) to raise up leaders in each congregation committed to the work of becoming anti-racist and partner with the Commission to share the ministry in their local congregation; 2) to provide educational opportunities to members of the diocese; 3) to provide resources to congregations; 4) to respond with gospel based actions to incidents of violence, discrimination, and racist systems/policies. Contacts: The Rev. Deacon Stephen Bentley (herb-and-jamaal@hotmail.com) The Rev. Canon Anna Carmichael (canonanna@diosanjoaquin.org)
