From your Deacons June 15, 2020 Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Yesterday, June 14th, World Wisdoms Project In collaboration with the Fort Collins Interfaith Council hosted a town Hall zoom meeting focused on listening to the experiences of people of color in Northern Colorado. This meeting was not a discussion. Not a two-way conversation. Not a debate. No, it was simply about listening. Listening to our sisters and brothers of color tell us about the presence of racism--in our communities of faith and in our larger community of Fort Collins. They spoke of institutional racism present in our schools, our government, our churches, our hospitals and our banking systems. And they spoke of the individual racism and internalized racism that can often cause one  to move away from, or denounce, their own race.

Listening to these stories is where we, who do not share these experiences, must begin. World Wisdoms Project and Interfaith Council will host 3 more such town Hall meetings. Please try to attend at least one to hear the stories of our brothers and sisters of color. The dates and times will be found in our weekly bulletin. Members of Mary of Magdala met to discuss our stand against racism and to formulate a public statement in support of the black community and all people of color. That statement is printed below. The body of Christ does not sever any of its members. When people of color suffer we suffer with them because we are all one body. Listen to these stories Please find some time today to read Mary of Magdala's anti-racism statement and to watch the short video honoring our black brothers and sisters in Christ. Beyond that, please think further about how you can be an instrument of God in this moment, working toward ending racism in our corner of the world. May the peace of our God be with us all.

Mary of Magdala, ECC response denouncing racism and the complicity in racist biases due to silence ​ Mary of Magdala, an Ecumenical Catholic Community understands that white silence in times when Black individuals are victims of hate crimes or police violence only serves to reinforce racial biases and racist assumptions. Mary of Magdala, ECC will not be complicit in that silence. We, as a parish community, stand in solidarity with the Black community and people of color. We condemn racism in any form in our city, country, and beyond. We will commit our church to serve and mend the ways in which we have unintentionally harmed these communities in the past.   “With the heart and mind of Christ, we transform the world." Read Mary of Magdala's Vision and Mission and Value statements.
