Racial Healing Resolution Adopted
The Synod Assembly adopts by majority voice vote a resolution on racial healing that invokes prayer for Martin and Zimmerman families as well as Florida's justice system; urges congregations to review the 1993 social statement on the sin of racism and study the proposed social statement on criminal justice; and engage in training for competency in cross-cultural ministries.
