Religious Affairs

The NAACP has always had a strong relationship with the religious community—one of its closest allies for nearly a century. As allies, the Religious Affairs Committee of the Coatesville area NAACP wish to increase our collaboration with Religious Leaders within the community. As members of the NAACP we unite and pledge “to promote equality of rights and eradicate caste or race prejudice among citizens of the United States; to advance the interest of colored citizens; to secure for them im-partial suffrage; and to increase their opportunities for securing justice in the courts, education for their children, employment according to their ability, and complete equality before the law,” We invite clergy to become members of the Religious Affairs Committee and as pastors, encourage members of your congregation to make a difference in the community for which we live by becoming active members of the NAACP.
