Keeping the Faith: A PCUSA initiative to engage racism in our world

Tony De La Rosa, of the Presbyterian Mission Agency, explains the ways in which the PCUSA is engaging the topic of racism post Ferguson.  This includes hard but important conversations about race, facing our responsibility in tolerating a racist culture, and "Hands and Feet" an initiative designed to provide outreach into areas in St. Louis.  St Louis is the sight of the 223 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A.

Racism is the opposite of what God intended for humanity.  It is the rejection of people that are different than we are which is in contradiction to the Word of God incarnate in Jesus Christ.  Because as Christians we are called by God as witnesses to God's love in Jesus Christ, we have no choice but to stand out and speak again racism.

These resources and guides have been to developed to assist in the conversation about our faith, race, and issues of racism we face in our communities.
