The Nevada Chapter of the Union of Black Episcopalians (UBE) was established on Saturday, October 14, 2000. The UBE has worked to eradicate, eliminate, and neutralize racism within the Episcopal Church. It has led the way to reform the practices, policies, procedures, and systems that impede effective participation of Black Episcopalians in the total Church. It has fostered transformation for all members of the church as they move away from dividedness toward togetherness with the corporate and spiritual body of Christ.
