Racial Justice Sunday - 14th February 2021

​Racial Justice Sunday is observed by churches in Britain and Ireland on the second Sunday of February. It has been celebrated ecumenically since 1995. This coming Racial Justice Sunday on the 14th February 2021 is an excellent opportunity for Christians of all denominations to join together in affirming the equality of all people and to make a commitment to becoming actively anti-racist.
