As part of our commitment to be a Matthew 25 Presbytery, our Multicultural Ministry Team hosted a panel discussion with Presbyterian siblings of color discussing our charge to ‘Dismantle Structural Racism’. Elder Sharon Moore, Multicultural Ministry Team chair, moderated the conversation with panelists the Rev. Lindsey Anderson, Love Rising Lutheran Church Co-Pastor, Mr. Jonathan Itchon, Multicultural Ministry Team member, the Rev. Shanea Leonard, Associate for Racial Equity & Women’s Intercultural Ministries, PC (USA), and the Rev. Fernando Rodriguez, Kirk in the Hills Associate Pastor.
Please mark your calendars for July 9 which will be the response from our non-POC siblings.

"This video, created collaboratively by the Hispanic/Latino-a Intercultural Congregational Support, Presbyterian Publishing Corporation, and the Hispanic/Latinx National Presbyterian Caucus, reflects the sentiments of the many Latin American communities who are part of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
We wanted to share with our church our solidarity with all people of color in the PCUSA, but specifically the Black community inside and outside the church, after the murder of Mr. George Floyd, the latest example of systemic racism and the ongoing police brutality against African Americans in the United States.
Latinx people stand and walk and scream along with those who march daily demanding equality and a stop to institutional racism. We also have faith that someday, the words of the Prophet Amos will resonate true in our country and the world: But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!"
