Whereas  our denomination condemns the recent wave of church burnings which are houses of worship predominantly of our African-American brothers and sisters in Christ and we condemn the spirit of racism which apparently has fostered these burnings and further call upon our members to prayerfully reach out in cross cultural experiences; and

Therefore Be It Resolved that our denomination call upon our members to counter this spirit by working toward cross-cultural understanding, support and service of our Lord Jesus Christ.
