First United Methodist Church

of Pittsburgh

is on a journey of becoming

an Anti-Racist Congregation.

Christian churches are called to reckon with histories of colonization and White supremacy that have broken lives, bodies, relationships, and the Earth.

SACRED RECKONINGS

is a holistic process teaching that reparation is more than just dollars. It includes truth-telling, spiritual practice, relationship, political solidarity, alongside wealth return. It is both heavy and joyful to begin to heal and repair these harms and we are called to do it in community. This strategy offers a path for liberation of ALL people

and can lead us to concrete action.

A big Thank You to all who came for the first Lunch and Learn on January 18th.

On February 1, 2026, after worship, we will take a closer look at how this fits into the fabric of our church and at the steps of this process. We will also highlight some of the suggested tools and respond to concerns that you brought up.

We hope that you will be able to discern if you want to jump on board and what role you are willing to play as we live into this strategy. This process will require the giving of both time and talent.
