Racial Justice and Reconciliation Commission Gathers at St. Christopher

The Diocesan Commission for Racial Justice and Reconcilation gathered for a retreat this past weekend at St. Christopher Camp and Conference Center on Seabrook Island. Bishop Ruth Woodliff-Stanley and the Reverend Canon Ramelle McCall (diocesan canon for leadership) joined the group for this holy and productive time. After the meeting, Bishop Woodliff-Stanley shared that the group engaged in “such deep, brave work today,” adding that they are a “pure gift” to our diocese. Commission members spent time reflecting on their progress and planning for their future, while staying focused on their mission. As the bishop noted, “the work ahead in our beloved diocese will be challenging and so, so Holy.” View more photos from the retreat on Facebook at this link. 

​The Diocesan Racial Justice and Reconciliation Commission was formed in the Diocese of South Carolina in October 2020 to allow us to unify our efforts and broaden and strengthen our common work. ​The Commission is comprised of clergy and laity of all races, from across the geographical territory of the diocese. The overarching aim of the commission is to strive to reflect the beloved community across the diocese.
