In an environment
of love and trust born of common belief, practice, and mission, individuals of
different races will have the intimate connection of heart and mind upon which
mutual understanding and change depend. As a result of their training and
deepening, a growing number of believers will draw insights from the Writings
to sensitively and effectively address issues of racial prejudice that arise within
their personal lives and families, among community members, and in social
settings and the workplace. As programs of growth advance and the scope and
intensity of activities grow, the friends will be drawn into participation in
conversations and, in time, initiatives for social action at the grassroots
where issues pertaining to freedom from prejudice naturally emerge, whether
directly or indirectly. . . .
(From a letter dated April 10, 2011 written on
behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual believer)
