About WMRJi

The West Midlands Racial Justice Initiative is committed to advancing racial justice by transforming church structures and communities across the region. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus and in partnership with six Midlands’ dioceses and the National Church, we work to dismantle systemic racism, ensuring that every individual, regardless of race or background, belongs, thrives, and experiences the love of God.
Guided by the From Lament to Action report, we aim to cultivate an inclusive Church where diversity is not only welcomed but celebrated.
