On the anniversary of Michael Brown's death, it seems the country
has lapsed into a tragic cycle of violence across the nation. What can
we do to break this cycle? What can we as members of a faith community
do to help promote justice, healing, and reconciliation?
In St. Louis the community of Christ Church Cathedral asked itself
and stepped out to help answer this question. Under the leadership of
the Very Rev. Mike Kinman, members of the Cathedral community joined
with members of other area congregations to press for justice, to work
for peace and to begin the long hard job of racial understanding and
reconciliation. They continue as a community to work today to promote
justice, healing, understanding, and peace.
The Rev. Mike Kinman will be at St. Mark's on October 18 at 6 p.m.
to share with us and those who gather in this place his experience of
Ferguson, his lessons learned and his observations on what we as members
of a faith community can do to end the cycle of violence, death and
destruction.
This presentation is part of a series in celebration of the 150th
anniversary of St. Mark's, Richmond (Diocese of Virginia). St. Mark's
has long been an inclusive and welcoming church, advocating for social
justice and equal rights for all people.
