On the Occasion of Our Nation’s 244th Birthday
The United States of America will be 244 years old on Saturday. I ask you, how are we going to celebrate? We cannot waste this moment of righteous anger; we cannot waste the energy that is moving people to protest and to do the work needed to change a status quo that is hurting many— in particular, people of color.

Someone is hurting our people and it’s gone on far too long and we cannot be silent anymore.
The Poor People’s campaign was in our building in 2018 and I remember this moment, when I swear it happened this way, I went downstairs to greet the folks who had showed up and it was the organizers. One of the women asked me to stay as they prayed. Of course. And she started to sing a call and response. We stood in a circle together and as we responded the doors to the parish Hall opened up and a couple of people joined us and then more and more. We stepped back and expanded the circle again and again and from the circle as we expanded finally our circle was as big as the parish hall. That is the call that is what we are called to do and to be. Ever-expanding and ever more part of the circle. More

All Lives Do Not Matter Unless Black Lives Matter

Most everything I needed to learn in this life I learned because I made a mistake. And I was in a relationship with someone who could help me; hold it up, made me look at it.
The Rev. Cannon Stephanie Spellers says “Because “God created humanity in God’s own image, in the divine image God created them…” (Gen 1:27). You spit on a child of God, you’re spitting on God. And if somebody’s spitting on God, people of faith HAVE to step up. It’s not optional. It’s not “two sides.” Step up with and for the holy One who has been kicked, shot, choked, crucified, denied. Step up because oppressive systems dim the beneficiaries’ divine spark and full humanity. For the love of God, step up.” More
