The General Commission on Religion and Race (GCORR) is one of six general commissions of The United Methodist Church charged with addressing specific, focused areas of concern. Religion and Race was established in 1968 to challenge and help the denomination’s agencies, institutions, annual (regional) conferences and congregations achieve full, equal participation among its racial and ethnic minority constituencies in the total life and mission of the Church.
The Commission strives to accomplish this task through education and advocacy and by reviewing, monitoring and supporting The United Methodist Church’s efforts to ensure racial inclusiveness and foster racial justice and reconciliation.
Our office is located in The United Methodist Building on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. Our General Secretary is Erin Hawkins.
The General Commission on Religion and Race works with United Methodists across in annual (regional) conferences the United States and with five racial/ethnic constituent groups (Asian/Pacific Islander, Black/African-American, Hispanic/Latino/a, Native American and White) to address their various concerns.
