That the 81st General Convention of The Episcopal Church (“TEC”) reaffirm the importance of the work of the Executive Council Committee on Anti-Racism and Reconciliation (ECCAR) to support the Church to live into existing General Convention resolutions starting with the 70th General Convention toward becoming a church committed to ending institutional and other forms of racism which necessitate the acceptance of abandonment of privilege and the sharing of power within our polity, within our society, and throughout the world; and be it further
Resolved, That the Episcopal Church recognizes that the work of dismantling racism and achieving racial justice and healing has made progress in improving the awareness of the sin of racism in the Church and that the work of dismantling racism and achieving racial justice and healing is far from completed; and be it further
