Murry Leads Catholic Church’s Committee Against Racism
February 21, 2018
The Catholic Church has joined the nationwide effort to battle intolerance and bigotry with the establishment of the Ad Hoc Committee Against Racism. Formed last August by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), the committee is headed by Bishop George V. Murry, S.J., one of eight active African American bishop in the international denomination. As part of his mandate to engage the Catholic Church and society in uniting to find solutions to discriminatory attitudes, Murry spoke in Los Angeles on Feb. 13 as part of the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies’ Tom and Julie Condon Lecture Series at USC.
