Minority Ethnic Anglican Concerns
The Committee for Minority Ethnic Anglican Concerns (CMEAC) works to encourage and engage participation from the Church's Minority Ethnic populations at every level. CMEAC is the primary point of contact for advice and resources regarding ethnic difference and marginalisation, advocacy, and racial justice.
CMEAC marked its 25th Anniversary in 2012 with a launch in the General Synod Assembly Hall at Church House on 1 October 2011. The launch events included Evensong at York Minster in May 2012 and a General Synod 25th Anniversary Fringe meeting in July 2012.
CMEAC's publications include: Seeds of Hope, The Passing Winter, Simply Value Us, Called to Lead, and An Amazing Journey.
CMEAC marked the bicentenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 2007 by holding a walk of witness, bicentenary hearings and producing a pack for schools.
