Racism has been a primary focus of CUIC since 2002 ( and , indeed , a primary focus of COCU alongside other forms of exclusion and prejudice , such as sexism and ableism ) . According to Dan Krutz , former president of CUIC , " Overcoming racism has been a focal point of CUIC since its beginning ... Racism may be the biggest sin that divides churches . " Even before the absence of the AME and AMEZ churches at the January 2011 plenary , some in CUIC had noticed the lack of commitment to racial reconciliation . Since 2008 , however , racism has become an even more pressing concern . This has led CUIC to address issues of racism in the public sphere , including the killing of Trayvon Martin and the recovery from the 2010 Haiti earthquake
