At their fall 2019 meeting, the Executive Council of The Episcopal Church awarded forty-two Becoming Beloved Community grants totaling $350,600 to catalyze the church’s work of racial healing, reconciliation and justice. Allocated by the 79th General Convention of The Episcopal Church (GC 2018 Resolution D002), the intent for these grants is to build capacity and increase Episcopal parish, diocesan, and agency engagement in four primary fields: telling the truth about our churches and race, proclaiming the dream of Beloved Community, practicing Jesus’ way of healing and reconciliation, and repairing the breach in institutions and society.
The Presiding Officer’s Advisory Council on Becoming Beloved Community has awarded the Brazos Valley Common Good Program at St. Andrew’s, Bryan and The One Human Race Initiative at St. James’, Austin, with a grant of $10,000 and $6,000, respectively, to further catalyze the Episcopal Church’s work on racial healing, reconciliation and justice.
