The Kentucky Council of Churches is a diverse coalition of Protestant and Roman Catholic congregations dedicated to promoting justice, advocacy, and unity among religious communities in Kentucky. With a history rooted in social activism, the Council works closely with state advocacy groups and coalitions to address pressing issues such as criminal justice reform, healthcare, fair housing, voting rights, and the death penalty. Through their annual Prayer in Action Days, the Council aims to engage religious leaders and their congregants in direct justice advocacy, inspired by the successful Moral Mondays movement in North Carolina.
Committed to a higher moral agenda that prioritizes the well-being of Kentucky's people, the Kentucky Council of Churches seeks to bring about positive change by challenging oppressive policies and promoting healing and community reconciliation. Their interfaith and inclusive approach welcomes the participation of the public and media in their events, which include prayer, education on key issues, and a call to action. By uniting denominational members and collaborating with other advocacy groups, the Council strives to create a more just and equitable society for all.
