“I am really proud of the Diocese of Texas.
“And when I say that, I mean the people of the diocese, who deeply want to make a better society and a better world.
“I hope that you will sign up and join in, along with members across our diocesan family, across our 57 counties, to participate in deep conversations about race, bias, community and integrity; opportunity and life in the future, and hope. That all comes from Jesus Christ — through us, into a hurting world desperately in need of hearing the Gospel.”
-The Rt. Rev. C. Andrew Doyle

Partnering with congregations to support your racial justice work
In the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, we strongly believe that each person and faith community has the power to affect real change. We’ve tragically seen tensions mount in all corners of our communities to the point of violence, mistrust, and hatred; yet people are being moved to step up in new ways.
As Episcopalians, we are called to gather people in God’s name to begin to listen, to heal with one another, and to work towards peace and justice.
We invite you to explore the resources in these pages that offer various topics from different voices, perspectives and experiences. Our hope is that they can set you on a course for deeper relationship building, better understanding of the issues facing our communities, and a call to action.
I have learned over the years that sometimes the conversations that matter most to us are the ones we avoid, so I invite you to pray about where God is moving you in this work. Together, we can all do our part and work towards what real transformation looks like and requires — for each other, for our churches and for our communities.
We will continue to add more workshops and other resources, so check back often!
