Helping congregations be agents for racial justice and healing.
Our calling is now.
Systemic racism continues to hold a grip on our nation. We see this enduring reality through the widening wealth gap between blacks and whites; disparate health impacts for people of color; and unequal treatment in the criminal justice system—to name just a few examples. Over the centuries, white faith communities have been deeply complicit in this story of oppression, the effects of which continue today. We believe, however, that there’s a stirring among people of faith, a hunger for racial justice and healing. But we face four challenges.
Four Challenges
1
Many of us have a limited understanding about the systemic nature and ongoing impacts of racism;
2
Our worship spaces are largely segregated, dividing us further along the lines of race;
3
Many congregations are unsure of how to go about advancing racial justice; and
4
We all can struggle to sustain our efforts for racial justice.
The Interwoven Response
Interwoven Congregations is dedicated to helping faith communities of all traditions be agents for racial justice and healing. We have developed our services and products to specifically address the four challenges above in the following ways:
The Interwoven Congregations Network
In August 2025, Interwoven launched the Interwoven Congregations Network -- a global online community where individuals (at least 16 years of age), congregations, networks of congregations, and antiracism coalitions can access antiracism resources and collaborate and mutually support one another.* As you'll find out, this involves both people and trees!
