Dear Friends in Christ –

Even as we continue to endure the global covid crisis, our nation and our community suffers just as viral a scourge of hate– just as destructive and just as deadly. But we have a cure if we have the will.

Armed with Holy Boldness we can face down the plague of hate and disarm its power.

Day by day we may be seen to be the bearers of God’s Spirit who’s munition is love.

Let no one doubt its power and our need of it now.

We are a diverse body. Let us reach out to each other to listen, to hold each other and to bear witness to the one who loved us to his death.

Stand up. Stand firm. Stand together.

In Christ’s love –
