My dear parishioners and friends,
The
death of George Floyd has ignited the fuel of years of racial injustice that registers with Americans of all colors and ethnicities.
In the past few days, we have seen peaceful demonstrations escalate to acts of violence
—f
ires that destroyed property, looting, buildings covered with graffiti, menacing scenes in cities across the country.
Close to home, on Sunday night there was minor damage by after-dark protesters across from the Cathedral. On Monday, the President arranged a photo op in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church.
