EHF is rooted in the pursuit of good health for all Texans. We support congregations in the creation of Beloved Communties.
Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?
The Episcopal Diocese of Texas’ Missionary Vision for a Racial Justice Initiative seeks to support people and communities of color across the diocese in a variety of ways.
EHF’s Beloved Communities work walks alongside congregations in this missionary vision to deepen knowledge, create dialogue, foster trust, and improve community health.
EHF’s Congregational Engagement team connects churches with congregational leaders and consultants to create a pathway to open courageous spaces for dialog and to develop localized strategies for congregational and community training.
Support for Deeper Community Partnerships
EHF’s Congregational Engagement Team can partner with your church and their work in supporting Beloved Communities by:
– Offering trainings for congregational leaders
– Helping enable leaders to lead transformative education in their congregations and connecting them with partners and resources like One Human Race, The Episcopal Diocese of Texas’ Office of Intercultural Development, and the Traces of the Trade documentary film and dialogue series
– Bringing together congregations across the diocese to share best practices, learn, and have community
– Working with Project Curate to develop congregation and community-wide initiatives and by partnering with community leaders
