Diocesan Reparations News, Committees and Timeline (2019-2024)
EDOW’s formal work on reparations began in 2019 with the Reparations Task Force, and in 2023, transitioned to the Committee on Diocesan Reparations. The Committee has communicated its progress through articles in the Diocesan Bulletin which we have collected here. The timeline lists official actions of convention and major endeavors of these two groups.
Committee and Working Groups
Reparations efforts in the diocese have been led by the Task Force on Reparations, which operated from 2019-2023, and the Committee on Diocesan Reparations, authorized in 2023 at the Annual Convention. Information about both groups is available here.
Articles on Reparations
In 2023, EDOW committed to a regular communication about reparations in the e-bulletin. The articles on this page include stories about congregational histories (at Calvary DC, St. Columba’s DC, and St. Paul’s Waldorf), research presented at Diocesan Convention, along with reflections by EDOW members such as Reflections on Healing Histories: A Reparations Dialogue.
