The West Midlands Racial Justice Unit has released a podcast called Embracing Change, exploring how and why we must promote racial justice across all dioceses.
This episode tackles one of the most urgent challenges facing our Christian communities today: promoting racial justice and fostering inclusive spaces for all. As part of the West Midlands Racial Justice Unit (WMRJU), this discussion aims to inspire dioceses to take meaningful action against racism – regardless of the demographic makeup of their congregations.
Often, there’s a misconception that anti-racist work isn’t necessary in predominantly white areas. However, research shows that racism can thrive in these spaces due to ignorance or lack of exposure to diversity. Our conversation confronts this false narrative head-on, offering insights into how these communities can become leaders in dismantling racial inequities.
Guided by the teachings of Galatians 3:28, we are reminded that, in Christ, there is neither Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free—we are all one. This podcast invites clergy and lay people alike to reflect on how their dioceses can live out this biblical truth by breaking down racial barriers and creating a church where everyone feels valued, safe, and welcomed.
Join us as we discuss how Christian faith calls us to pursue racial justice, how dioceses can lead by example, and why every community must embrace this work, regardless of their racial diversity.
