The General Commission on Religion and Race (GCORR) was established by the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church, to hold the Church accountable in its commitment to reject the sin of racism in every aspect of the life of the church. We continue championing diversity, equity and inclusion; developing inter-culturally competent leaders, and catalyzing authentic community.
While racism remains our primary focus, our perspective and partnerships reflect a broader context, which includes poverty, nationalism, tribal conflicts, gender discrimination, homophobia, disability and generational bias—because we know all forms of oppression are connected and cannot be dismantled in isolation.
