Social Justice At Holy Trinity
At Holy Trinity, we offer welcome to all and strive to ensure a safe space for members, guests, and our community. As such, we aim to dismantle racism and other forms of hatred in our society, acting in God’s image to promote justice in the Lutheran Church and beyond. We have two volunteer groups focused on these important social justice initiatives.
Racial Equity Team
Holy Trinity’s Racial Equity Initiative (REI) Committee is centered on providing opportunities and resources to work towards the dismantling of white supremacy in the church and the promotion of racial justice in society. This includes educational programs promoting awareness of the historic and current role played by the Lutheran Church in the enslavement, persecution, and undermining of people of color.
We invite you to be part of our church’s anti-racism work by using the resources we’ve collected and curated here: articles, books, podcasts, movies, and more. We’ve also provided links to resources from the ELCA.
If you’d like to join our Racial Equity Team, please e-mail office@holytrinityfallschurch.org with “Racial Equity Team” in the subject line.
Reconciling In Christ
Holy Trinity is a Reconciling in Christ community, which means that we are one of the 700+ Lutheran churches nationwide that publicly welcome our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters. The RIC Committee organizes programs and events that encourage diversity and inclusivity in Christ. Every year, we celebrate our commitment to offering welcome with RIC Sunday, including a special worship service and decorated reception. We also collaborate with other RIC churches of the ELCA to build a float for the D.C. Pride Parade. To join, please email the office at office@holytrinityfallschurch.org.
