Members in United States call for prayer, action

In the wake of the grand jury verdict in Ferguson, Missouri, our member churches in the United States of America have called for prayer, peaceful protest and a recommitment to long term actions to promote racial justice in the country.

You can read several of their statements through these links:

• Presbyerian Church (USA): Stated Clerk responds to Ferguson grand jury decision
• Reformed Church in America: Endorses the NCC Statement
• United Church of Christ: After Ferguson decision, Geoffrey Black calls for courage in the struggle for justice and peace

In the spirit of a worldwide family, called to communion and committed to justice, we are inviting member churches and ecumenical partners to join our sisters and brothers in the USA in their struggles for justice and in prayer and solidarity through messages and expressions of support. “Then you will understand righteousness and justice, as well as integrity, every good course.” (Prov. 2:9)
