Durham Congregations in Action

DCIA

DCIA Affirmation: In a spirit of reconciliation and with gratitude for the gift of diversity, DCIA seeks to engage and empower people of faith to create a community of justice and peace through our common prayers and acts of compassion; and with prophetic courage to act as advocates for the dignity and well-being of all persons, recognizing that behind every human face is the face of God.

 

The next DCIA Assembly meeting will be 11:45 am Tuesday, May 15 at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 2438 S. Alston Ave.


DCIA is an interfaith, inter-racial organization of 62 congregations. Every member congregation has three representatives, including clergy, who serve as their liaison to the organization.

Each  congregation is asked to contribute an amount between one-half and one percent of  its previous year’s budget. No congregation is refused membership for inability to donate at these levels.  Congregations also agree to recruit at least five percent of their active adult members to be volunteers in DCIA-sponsored programs.
