Racial Justice Sunday

Racial Justice Sunday is taking place on 9 February 2025 and is an invitation for all Christians to weave racial justice into their everyday lives. Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) have prepared some excellent resources, a few of which are highlighted here.

For those who have previously not engaged with Racial Justice Sunday because they did not feel equipped to do so, these resources will provide them with the tools to play an active part in this work.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Racial Justice Sunday. CTBI have chosen the theme 'Coat of Many Colours', reflecting the increasing diversity that exists in the churches in Britain and Ireland.
