Racial justice issues have been recognised as a key concern for our Union for many years, with the Racial Justice Working Group being set up at the March 1995 Council in response to the growing diversity of our country and churches.  Since then it has worked towards seeing, in our Union, the realisation of the vision expressed in Revelation 7:9 – ‘After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no-one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.’

In April 2021, a response to the Government's report on race relations in the UK (the Sewell Report) was issued by the Racial Justice Advocacy Forum - a new ecumenical Christian entity which seeks to speak prophetically on behalf of Black and Brown Christians to Government on racial injustice challenges and reparations.

To enable our Union to become fully multicultural, our National Justice Hub has developed or commissioned some helpful resources and initiatives for churches.
