​Duke Memorial | Anti-Racism

Confronting the Injustice of Racism


​Churches! Where are you?

​A message from Pastor Heather

"We recognize that this work is a journey.
It's long, it's personal, it's emotional, it's messy, and it's tough.
Still, we say yes. 
In the name of a God who allows us to begin again and again.
In the name of God with brown skin, Jesus, who marched against discrimination
​all the way to the cross and whose redeeming love empowers us to do the same."

Anti-Racism Task Force

The Anti-racism Task Force was appointed by Church Council in August 2020 to identify ways in which DMUMC contributes to systems of racism and anti-racism and share with Church Council ways we can become an anti-racist church.

But why does becoming an anti-racist church matter? “Love the Lord your God....(it says in Luke 11:25-29)....with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” And we hear from Amos 5 that to love is to fight for justice- justice that rolls on like a river. As Christians, we believe the work of anti-racism is the work of mercy and justice as we seek to love our neighbor as ourselves.

This formation guide was created specifically for the community of Duke Memorial.

This document is meant to be a living resource, growing and changing as we engage one another and others in our anti-racism journey.
