Abstract

The article focuses on a study examining the role of religion and spirituality in social justice activities, specifically within the context of racial justice organizing among Episcopalians. Conducted through three years of ethnographic fieldwork with an Episcopal Beloved Community Commission, the research highlights how members utilized theological resources, sacramental practices, liturgy, and communal events to frame racism as a spiritual issue. The findings suggest that collective sanctification processes can enhance racial justice efforts by integrating religious teachings and practices. The study emphasizes the need for further exploration of how religious actors engage in social justice initiatives. [Extracted from the article]
