A Letter from the Rector
June 3, 2020
Dear Friends in Christ,
The events of the last week seem to be on an escalating spiral, and the sense of frustration grows, as we watch more and more violence occur. As a community formed and sent to be a channel of God’s love, it is incumbent upon us as the Church, to stop, and take a deep breath. Take a cleansing, Spirit-filled breath, and dig into the hard work of prayer, examining ourselves, and beginning to find ways to reach out to those we have considered “other.” We must take practical steps, with God’s help, to begin the process of healing, one relationship at a time.
As a parish deeply rooted in our Baptismal Covenant, where we promise to respect the dignity of every human being, let us find concrete actions that live out our values of inclusivity and welcome. This will necessitate more movement beyond the walls of our church, out into our local community. In the midst of a pandemic, we will need the Spirit’s movement, to “gather” in unity and solidarity.
The world is outraged right now, but soon the emotions will fade, and this will become one more lost story if we do not commit to making a difference in the long term. Our response must be measured and creative, with long term plans in mind. Introspection, humility, and vulnerability will guide our process. Grounded in the love that God has for us, we are already equipped to begin this work of living our faith.
Tomorrow, June 4 at 7:00pm, there will be a short liturgy of prayers for peace and music, with a zoom “gathering” following. We can share our thoughts and begin discussion on a way forward. More information of events that are being organized in our local community will be shared in this week’s e-blast.
Beloved friends, it may seem that there is little we can do as one church, but Christ has taught us that even a small band of followers, with the Spirit's leading, can inspire generations. Join us in taking the first step.

Faithfully,
