Questions & Answers
Here is some additional information about our organization. Please contact us if you have additional questions.
We help Christian individuals and organizations to work toward biblical, racial justice and unity in their lives, organizations, and society.
The parent organization of the RJUC, Renew Partnerships, was founded in 2006. Since that time, our small team has enjoyed working with many individuals and organizations across the U.S. In 2018-2020, we partnered with several other organizations to conduct a major national research project on racial dynamics in U.S. Christianity. Our goal was not just to collect new data, but to provide practical, biblical help to the Body of Christ. To help that become a reality, Renew Partnerships and a large team of leaders and experts began to lay the foundations for the RJUC throughout 2018-2020. The RJUC officially launched in the spring of 2021.
Yes, Renew Partnerships (the facilitating organization of the RJUC) has been a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization since 2006.
Yes, that would be a big help. A large percentage of our operating expenses come through the voluntary contributions of individuals and organizations that share our desire to help the Body of Christ grow in the area of racial justice and unity.
We enjoy working with many denominations and organizations, but are not affiliated with any single organization. We are an independent Christian ministry.
Focusing on justice and unity for other types of diversity is important. But we narrow our focus to racial diversity because of the complex history, dynamics, and barriers associated with race relations in U.S. Christianity. Narrowing our focus to racial dynamics enables us to study and address the topic in much more detail then we could if we focused on many types of diversity.
The short answer is giving people what they deserve as individuals created in the image of God, regardless of their race or ethnicity. Justice includes:
- Righteousness: Punishing those who do evil and restraining them
- Generosity: Giving generously to the poor and vulnerable
- Social concern: Caring about vulnerable members of society that are often neglected or oppressed
We recommend the book Faithful Antiracism (especially Chapter 2) for a more extended definition.
