In the light of the tragic death of George Floyd and many others who have been unlawfully killed, assaulted or insulted, we say ENOUGH. The dehumanisation of others based on their skin colour has to stop. Anti-Racist behaviour denies the most basic premise in God’s creation that we are all equally precious and of value. Systemic racism in workplaces, education, courts and the Church is a denial of God’s justice. We call on every Kyrian to stand against all forms of racist behaviour from stupid jokes and naïve comments to horrendous violence and death. For those Kyrians who are not from BAME (Black and Minority Ethnic)  backgrounds, we commit to be allies and to listen and learn. Rev Dr Kate Coleman from Next Leadership in the UK urges all of us to try to understand the daily realities of black people and to speak out about racial injustice. “Don’t pretend there isn’t a problem and don’t just say, ‘I’m not racist. Go beyond that.” Kyria wants to support and honour women of every ethnicity in the UK and across the global Church by listening to diverse ethnic voices and standing with women of colour in all their experiences. Our aim as an organisation is to declare and actively demonstrate that every person bears God’s image and that all women should be honoured whatever our colour, language or national heritage. We ask you to pray for women who are experiencing confusion, pain or anger because of racism perpetrated against them or their families. Let us seek forgiveness for past sins, unconscious bias acts, ignorance and carelessness, realising that we are complicit in injustice if we remain silent.  May we look to God more fervently, asking Him to move powerfully though his people to bring understanding, hope and reconciliation now, and for the coming generations.
