"If ever there were a time for people to wake up and see that we are citizens of a whole city and state and nation, and more than that, citizens of God’s whole big world, isn't it now?
If ever there were a time for people to acknowledge that being members of a particular racial group DOES shape our experience of God and other people - AND that we are, ALL OF US, part of the whole human race under God, isn't this the time?
If ever there were a time to remember our kinship with brothers and sisters around the globe; and to state clearly that working for and praying for a vision of God’s huge feast of love has to start with speaking out clearly against hate wherever we see it, isn't this the time?"
excerpt from Sunday, August 13 worship service, Rev. Kim Rodrigue
