​Racial Justice Sunday is observed by churches in Britain and Ireland on the second Sunday of February. It has been celebrated ecumenically since 1995. This coming Racial Justice Sunday on the 12th February 2023 is an excellent opportunity for Christians of all denominations to join together in affirming the equality of all people and to make a commitment to becoming actively anti-racist.
