Multicultural Team
Multicultural Team
The Multicultural Team’s (MCT) role is to envision, research, assess, plan, and lead multicultural, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive programs and trainings at ERUUF. Along with the ministers, staff, and other lay leaders, we hold the vision of Beloved Community for ERUUF and seek to deepen the understanding and reality of our becoming a radically inclusive community. We believe that individual and institutional awareness about racial equity is important for us to be effective in engaging with the larger community outside of ERUUF.
The MCT supports several groups and initiatives reaching towards these goals, as well as planning for Dismanting Racism workshops through the Change Team. We covenant together as a Multi-Cultural Team to:
- Contact Person: Nancy Couts, Diane Blount
