You may have read a short synopsis of this article yesterday in our e-news; here is the full and powerful story of how two of our parishioners have found a source of joy and a means of advocacy through this project to combat Christian Nationalism, and how you can join them.
This Sunday, August 3, will be our family’s last Sunday at St. John’s before we move to Oxford, England. We believe this is the path God has for us and we are confident in our decision to leave, but it is still sad to leave this community after 14 years.
“What languages and cultures saturate your daily life? Who made your shoes? Who picked your coffee beans? What are the untold origins of the music you love? Racist, xenophobic, Christian Nationalism will fail. God loves diversity.”
“We are in a scary time for people like me to be coming out. But if I have learned anything throughout my life, it is that love and community are the most effective weapons to combat fear and division.”
“Bayard Rustin, Audre Lorde, Langston Hughes, Pauli Murray, Gloria Anzaldúa, Alvin Ailey, and James Baldwin straddled treacherous breaches between lowliness and magnificence; mercy and might; exaltations and put-downs.”
“I was looking for a church to attend, because after almost four decades of being an ordained minister, it would have been hard to stop going to church. It is clear that at St. John’s, the clergy and guest preachers take preaching seriously.”
“The sort of acknowledgment of Jesus Christ for which Monica prayed for her son speaks directly to the situation in which we find ourselves today, on this fifth anniversary of the murder of George Floyd, and that acknowledging Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord in this particular way is something that we need, rather desperately in fact, in our world today.”
This summer, I will be stepping away from my duties as Music Director at St. John’s for a time of intentional rest, reflection, and renewal
