The purpose of the Greater Milwaukee Synod Racial Equity & Justice Team is to dismantle racism by creating and deepening a culture of resistance to racism through organizing and training among the ministries of the synod.

This team was called into existence in the 1998 Synod Assembly (Resolution # 3) and in the 2003 Synod Assembly (Resolution # 2) was asked to serve as a resource “to help congregations begin, and continue, to lift up cross-cultural and diversity concerns.”

The team is made up of pastors and laypeople from across the synod. The team can be a resource for those individuals and groups that want to work toward a more racially equitable and just society. Membership is open to all who feel called to this work.
