Illinois Christians Encountering Racism Team
ICER Mission
The mission of the ICER ministry is to dismantle systematic racism and build bridges to racial wholeness within churches, institutions and communities. This mission is implemented through offering training to members within the ICC network of churches and to the broader community.
Whereas racism exists as a social, political, and psychological element in our society, it is also a spiritual evil that needs to be intentionally addressed from the perspective of faith traditions. Racism is sin separating the children of God. The ICC has chosen to address racism through education and training to provide specific strategies to dismantle racism within the ICC organization and its member judicatories. ICER is equipped to provide resources forimplementing and maintaining this ongoing educational process.
