October 18 at 6 p.m., St. Mark's, Richmond
As we mark the one-year anniversary of Michael Brown's death it seems the country has lapsed into a tragic cycle of violence - questionable police action resulting in the death of black men, women, and children in Cleveland, New York, Baltimore, Cincinnati, and other cities and towns 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?

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.
Rev. Mike Kinman will be at St. Mark's Episcopal Church on October
18 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. We invite you to join us at 6 p.m. on October 18 for
his presentation.
