Resolved, That the 81st General Convention of The Episcopal Church reaffirm our commitments to reparations for slavery, to community development, and to the role of the church in leading the nation towards racial reconciliation; and we recognize the dioceses are at various stages in this essential work; and because this Convention remembers the 1969 Special General Convention, wherein, the Rev. Paul M. Washington, and attendee from Pennsylvania Barbara C. Harris, spoke to The Episcopal Church’s inadequate response to reparations, and called on all Black deputies to walk out in protest; and be it further

Resolved, That this convention asks the Executive Council to create and make available tools, comprehensive resources, and specific reparative capital vehicles so that the church can do this work.
