Racial Justice Sunday is for all churches to reflect on the importance of racial justice, to give thanks for the gifts and beauty of human diversity, and to commit to end racism and acts of discrimination. 

Racial justice and inclusion is a critical priority for the Church of England and is committed to ensuring that our dioceses, clergy and volunteers reflect the communities we are called to serve.

This week's national online service marks Racial Justice Sunday. The service comes from the Chapel at Lambeth Palace and is led by Rev Guy Hewitt, Director of Racial Justice for the Church of England, who preaches on the theme of Racial Justice. Join our online community from 9am on Sunday for this Service of the Word.

Racial Justice Sunday is to be marked in services across the country this weekend, in Morning and Evening prayer and in the Church of England’s national online service.

Worship with us today, from St Anne’s Church, Clifton, in the Diocese of Manchester.

Rev Grace Thomas will be leading the service, and sharing about Racial Justice.

A prayer ahead of Racial Justice Sunday this week written by Revd Dr Anderson Jeremiah, a member of the Archbishops’ Anti-Racism Taskforce.

Racial justice is a major priority for the Church of England and this has implications for the way we do ecumenism.  Ecumenism is primarily about unity in diversity, and this should be reflected in the way we function.

The Archbishops’ Commission for Racial Justice has released the first of its biannual Racial Justice reports.
