As we begin Pride month, The Episcopal Church celebrates the 50th anniversary of it's 1976 statement of inclusion: "that homosexual persons are children of God who have a full and equal claim with all other persons upon the love, acceptance, and pastoral concern and care of the Church.”

Our new Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe said, "As we celebrate that milestone, we also acknowledge that the journey to achieve full inclusion for all of God’s children is not yet over. As Pride Month begins, I am praying especially for our LGBTQ+ siblings, who are too often in harm’s way and targeted for their identity and gender expression. Their struggles reveal to us the kingdom of God, and we are committed to standing in solidarity with all those suffering from the evil of hatred and discrimination.”

The Feast of the Visitation, celebrated on May 31, commemorates Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth as told in the Gospel of Luke. Bearing the unborn Christ, Mary journeyed to the hill country to share in Elizabeth’s joy, for Elizabeth too was expecting a son—John the Baptist. When Mary greeted her, Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and cried out, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!” In that moment, the child in Elizabeth’s womb leapt for joy, recognizing the nearness of the Savior. Mary responded with her song of praise, the Magnificat, proclaiming God’s mercy and the lifting up of the humble. The Visitation reveals the meeting of the old and new covenants, of prophecy and fulfillment, and of two faithful women whose openness to God made way for salvation’s unfolding. The feast invites the faithful to share Mary’s joy, her humility, and her readiness to bear Christ into the world through lives of gratitude and service.
