Union of Black Episcopalians 2022 Western Regional

What does the internet say about The Union of Black Episcopalians (UBE)?According toWikipedia, The Union was formed on February 8, 1968, by a group of African American clergy who met inSt. PhilipsEpiscopal Church, Harlem, NYC.UBEQuickFacts & FiguresThe Union has six (6) regions covering the continental US, Africa, The Caribbean, South America, and Canada.The Union has over 55 ChaptersThe Pacific Northwest UBE interest group began in March 2020 and became officially recognized by The Union in the Fall of 2020.The Pacific Northwest Chapter has members from the Dioceses of Olympia and Oregon.UBE Pacific Northwest has over 50 members, covering the states of Oregon and Washington.What the UBE is not?The Union of Black Episcopalians, “The Union”, is not the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society, which is the legal nameuniversally known as The Episcopal Church (TEC).The Union is an international, independent organization which works closely with TEC to facilitate increasing the representation ofBlack Episcopalians in the church and to ensure issues which indeed affect all people of color do not go unaddressed.The UBE is NOT EXCLUSIVE to African American people.The UBE strongly encourages anyone to register who wants to advance social justice initiatives and the cultural restructuring ofthe TEC to cause its norms and ordination processes to become more equitable to minorities.We have European American, Latino, Asian, Asian American, First Nations, African, Afro-Caribbean, and African American memberswho want TEC to more closely resemble the church of which Jesus spoke.African Americans have been leaders in the Episcopal Church since the 18th century. Our historical role is sacred, and therefore,our longevity, faith, and resilience give us a powerful voice as representatives of all People of Color in service to the Church.What does your UBE Chapter membership help to achieve in the Pacific Northwest?We provide a community forum for Black Episcopalian and People of Color to build deeper connections with others like them in thePacific Northwest.We are building a regional network of advocates which include clergy, lay leaders, parishes, diocesan committees, and otherEpiscopal organizations who want to see parishioners fully participate in church life wherever they live.
