Background and Mandate

The 1992 General Conference adopted Calendar Item 1528 on page 527 of the Daily Christian Advocate which requested that the General Council on Ministries assist the General Board of Church and Society in conducting research in the area of environmental racism.

Process and Implementation

Staff of the two agencies collaborated several times during the quadrennium to support an ecumenical initiative to provide basic data on the issues in environmental racism. GCOM's Division on Research, Planning and Futuring was regularly briefed on this effort and the report of the ecumenical study was released in early 1995.
