Day of Repentance - National Day of Racial Healing
As the ELCA continues its work of racial healing and implements its “Declaration of the ELCA to People of African Descent,” it will observe an annual day of repentance for racism on Jan. 18, 2022.
This date, which follows Martin Luther King Jr. Day, is observed by several organizations as the National Day of Racial Healing, to encourage acts of service and raise awareness of racial justice.
