RCCI’s Accountability to People of Color

RCCI recognizes that white people have racial blindspots. People of color are better positioned to see, determine responses to racism, and take the lead. As a result, we take the posture of a learner and follower, submitting ourselves to the accountability of people of color and the lordship of Jesus Christ.

RCCI intentionally integrates BIPOC perspectives through:

• Including BIPOC authors, speakers, and content creators in our curriculum

• Seeking the thought partnership, feedback, and accountability of BIPOC colleagues and community partners.

• Actively learning from BIPOC leaders through a wide range of professional development opportunities

In addition, we strive for any multiracial gathering RCCI hosts to not only be in partnership with people of color but also initiated, inspired, or requested by people of color. We believe this helps address the perpetuation of unequal power dynamics and natural limitations that can occur when white people are the initiators, decision-makers, or hosts.
