Our Common Goal: Rejecting Racism and Systemic Exclusion

During this session, we have the privilege of welcoming Bishop Prince Singh to give a reflection on our ninth principle on ‘Our Common Goal: Rejecting Racism and Systemic Exclusion.' The Rt. Rev. Prince Grenville Singh, Ph.D. serves as Bishop Provisional of the Episcopal Dioceses of Eastern and Western Michigan. Bishop Singh was born and raised in India, attending seminary and serving several congregations before immigrating to the US in the mid-90s for additional study and service in the Episcopal Church. His church-wide leadership includes Bishops Against Gun Violence, the House of Bishops Theology Committee, the Taskforce on the Theology of Social Justice, as a coach in the College for Bishops and several others.

Our ninth Interfaith Action principle states: 'Our common good requires advancing policies of inclusion and equity. We believe that racism and systemic exclusion in multiple forms is an intrinsic evil. As such capitalism without a foundational commitment to common good is a structural sin. Our faith traditions require us to reject systems that oppress people and create inequities. We are aware that racism and other forms of exclusionary discrimination impact the well-being of both the oppressed and the oppressor.'
