Racial Justice Taskforce

The Vision Statement We envision a society which is not color blind but color appreciative, which judges human beings by the content of their character, not the color of their skin or their cultural heritage, a society which treasures human diversity in the context of the "Beloved Community." The Mission Statement The Racial Justice Taskforce of the Social Justice Council has three interconnected goals:   To educate our congregation and the public at large, through forums, dramatizations, sermons, classes, etc., about the ways that (the concept of) "race" and (the behaviors of) "racism" affect our lives, both in this country and around the world, in the social, economic, political, and especially the criminal justice, realms of our lives;   To carry out actions opposing racism in all its forms, including letter writing and bearing witness projects, that demonstrate the principles of multiracial unity and our belief in the inherent worth and dignity of all people as the only means of bringing racism to an end;   To invite people to join us, both in and out of the church, in building the work of the Task Force to eliminate all forms of racial intolerance and to increase historical awareness of the ongoing struggle against racism.  For information on the Racial Justice Task Force's Action Plan for the current church year, and/or information on its current activities, please contact one of the task force's Co-Chairs: Allan Lindrup at 773-643-8061 or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ; Finley Campbell at 773-752-4019 or This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
