Dear friends,
I know many of us are still reeling from what happened in Charlottesville, and continue to be on edge about the ascendance of virulent, emboldened white supremacy in our country.
In moments like these, in the face of hatred, bigotry, and violence, it is important to stand with friends and partners across religious, ethnic, cultural, racial, and political divides to pray, support each other, and begin to heal.
Tomorrow evening at 6:30pm, I am participating in an interfaith prayer vigil, organized by my Richmond Clergy Against Racism partners, to affirm our commitment to building an inclusive, just, and peaceful America.
I will be speaking, along with many clergy and communal leaders. I hope you will join us. The entire community is invited, so please feel encouraged to share this invitation far and wide. Here is the information:
