Ethnic Issues to be Discussed at Church of Christ Meeting The United Church of Christ has accomplished much in its racial justice ministries but needs to do even better, according to a pro posed pronouncement calling the denomination <4to be a true multira cial and multicultural church." The proposed statement will be one of several agenda items focus ing on racial and ethnic issues at the General Assembly/Synod, a common gathering of the United Church of Christ and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), set for July 15-20 in St Louis. The event at Cervantes Convention Center will include joint activities as well as separate business sessions of the United Church's General Synod and the Disciples' General Assem bly. Written by the UCC's Com mission for Racial Justice, the pro posed pronouncement will be con sidered only by the UCC General Synod. It acknowledges the church's accomplishments in racial and ethnic issues since the early 1960s, embodied in such UCC peo ple as the Rev. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., the new head of the NAACP, and exemplified in such past state ments as the 1991 "Pastoral Letter on Contemporary Racism and the Role of the Church." If approved by synod dele gates, the text would call upon the church to deepen its commitment by, among other things, ensuring that financial resources are shared equitably with racial and ethnic congregations, that equitable proce dures are developed for calling, placing and giving standing to min isters, and that multilingual resources are developed and dis seminated throughout the church. It would call upon members, offi cials and institutions of the church to "confess the sins of racism and to repent and jefrain from all acts of racial discrimination and big .otry." A 1988 study found that about 100,000, or about 6 percent, of the denomination's 1.6 million mem bers were racial and ethnic people ? that is, African-Americans, American Indians, Asian Ameri cans, Hispanics and Pacific Islanders. In other activities of racial and ethnic interest: ? Chavis, who in April became executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will speak on July 17 at a joint dinner of UCC and Disciples African American groups. The 5:15 p.m. dinner will be held in rooms 130-132 of the convention center. Chavis, while spending most of his time with the Baltimore-based NAACP, is work ing approximately one day a week through July 31 as he makes the transition out of his post as execu tive director of the Commission for Racial Justice. ? Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa will preach at a festive joint worship service at 8 p.m. on July 18 at the convention center. The service will feature an African dance troupe and drum ensemble and a 600-voice choir. ? Dozens of events involving racial and ethnic groups in both churches are scheduled throughout the week. These include meetings, banquets and award ceremonies. An example: tensions between Asian- and African Americans, and a movement for sovereignty for native Hawaiians, will be among the topics of workshops and semi nars (called "interest groups") open to anyone from 2 to 5 p.m. on July 17.
