  We’ve worked together before to end segregation in the schools. We must work together now to prevent its creeping return. Because separate is still not equal, and segregation is still immoral.

The North Carolina Council of Churches is a statewide ecumenical organization promoting Christian unity and working towards a more just society.

The Council enables denominations, congregations, and people of faith to individually and collectively impact our state on issues such as economic justice and development, human well-being, equality, compassion and peace, following the example and mission of Jesus Christ.
