racial justice and multicultural ministry Racial Justice and Multicultural Ministry Advocacy SchemeRaising awareness and educating the membership of the URC are key aspects of the work. We rely heavily on volunteers to advocate for Racial Justice on the ground.
We currently have 80 Racial Justice Advocates (RJA) on our mailing list, and they are recruited from the district councils of all our synods. Our plan is have a least one RJA in each District. We meet twice a year - a weekend-residential, and a one-day meeting in London.
These meetings are organised by the Racial Justice Advocates Planning Group (RJAPG) and are designed to give continuing training and support for the advocates, as well as to enable space for sharing stories and offering support to each other.
We also have Racial Justice Synod Co-ordinators appointed by each Synod to organise the racial justice work within that synod.
We asked all the co-ordinators and advocates to find strategies for encouraging their own Synods to adopt Racial Justice Advocacy Synod Policy Statement - with the appropriate changes specific to the particular synod.
