Catholic Life - Racial Justice Equality and Diversity
"For there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile; the same Lord is Lord of all, enriching all who call upon him." - ROMAN 10:12
This is very much a call for all Christians to engage in the righteous struggle for racial justice because racial justice is everyone’s business. The Bible has a lot to say about justice because as God’s Word, it reflects God’s heart for justice. It can be argued that we should love justice because God does! Racism and racial discrimination are justice issues because they deny basic justice and human dignity to women and men who are made in the image of God. Equally, they are sinful because, among other issues, they assume all are not equal before God and are not part of God’s family.
At Saint Agnes we are promoting RJED in our school. Our 'If Racism vanished for a day' display is a constant reminder on how we all have a responsibility to promote actively promote diversity and to be proactive in dealing with racist behaviour.
