RESPONSE TO THE DEATH OF TYRE NICHOLS
Friends in Christ,
In my homily this past Sunday, on the heels of the release of the video of Tyre Nichols last week, I noted that we can count on the world to continue to offer us heartbreaking opportunities for "Beatitude Living."
As we absorb that we live in a world where something like this can even happen, I also invite you to pray, learn, and act. Finally, the world will be as we make it, and as Christians we are called to make a world that looks like the Kingdom of God. What follows is a response with a specific invitation from our Racial Justice Committee, as well as a reflection from our own Presiding Bishop Michael Curry. Please take the time to review this, and take whatever steps feel necessary for you as we strive for Beatitude Lives.
-Fr Chuck
