Anti-Racism Program

The Anti-Racism Program provides anti-racism educating and resources from an Anabaptist perspective.

Damascus Road Anti-Racism Process

An Anabaptist antiracism training and skill development program

The name "Damascus Road" refers to the process of transformation that Saul experienced on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-31). While Damascus Road (DR) provides space for individual transformation, the entire program is designed to work toward long-term transformation of institutions, particularly churches and faith-based organizations.

Much of Damascus Road's attention is given to workshops and training events, though Damascus Road is careful to place this educational work in service to larger organizing goals of dismantling racism. Our current priorities in our antiracism organizing are building up work on internalized racist oppression and superiority and strengthening the DR network's connections to base communities. Damascus Road also provides other resources, such as networking events, consultation, and media resources. The DR Core Organizers group provides additional emphasis on broader organizing concerns, while the Core Chaplains seek to articulate a theology and spirituality of antiracism.

Welcome to MCC U.S.

Working as a diverse body in the name of Christ, we see our common Christian faith as a link transcending differences and connecting us to a worldwide community of faith. As part of our witness in the world, we seek to speak prophetically and resist conforming to the habits and lifestyle of the surrounding culture. We believe that our security rests not in the militarism of the world, but in our faith in Christ and our commitment to the church as the beginning of God's kingdom on earth
 
We are committed to being inclusive of all persons regardless of race, class, gender and age. We seek to dismantle oppression that diminishes our ability to realize the Revelation vision of "saints from every tribe and language and people and nation" worshipping together. From our theological heritage embracing the priesthood of all believers, we strive to build consensus and share decision-making among all our partners.
 
We seek to humbly listen to and learn from each other and those with whom we work, recognizing that it is out of our relationships with others that mutual transformation takes place. We also seek to develop and transform communities across the United States by our service together in the name of Christ.
