Abstract
AbstractFollowing the call by the Uppsala assembly of the World Council of Churches (WCC) in 1968 for an ecumenical campaign against racism, the WCC set up the Programme to Combat Racism (PCR) the following year with its Special Fund to provide grants to those oppressed by racism and the organizations that represented them. The grants to liberation movements fighting racism in Africa provoked controversy particularly among WCC member churches in Western Europe and North America. This article is a personal reflection on the experiences and achievements of the PCR, concluding with a reflection on the continuing challenge of racism today.
