“We are called to love our neighbors, to love the strangers and the foreigners that live among us, to recognize that we are all sojourners,”

(RNS) — 'I think it is imperative on me, as a faith leader, to proclaim that human beings are not targets and that God is a God of justice and of love,’ said the Rev. Rebecca Girrell, a United Methodist pastor who was among those arrested.

Mark your calendars and let the office know if you can provide hospitality at the building. Depending on the event, we're present in various ways. A presence in our swag, bubbles, co****le, prayer station, coloring/craft for kids, concerts in the sanctuary. All hands on deck and you get to enjoy these fabulous Great American Downtown happenings.

Thanks to Oak Lawn UMC for their prompt and compassionate response to those in Arizona after the targeted violence of a hate crime. Their vigil will be live-streamed Thursday evening.

An Open Letter to the Q***r Community of Tucson

Beloved siblings in Tucson,

From Oak Lawn United Methodist Church in Dallas, Texas, we want you to hear this clearly. You are not alone.

We grieve with you. We stand with you. And we hold close every person whose heart is heavy with fear, anger, sorrow, or exhaustion. When violence and hatred seek to make q***r people afraid to gather, celebrate, love, or simply exist openly in the world, our response must be more than words. We must show up for one another.

So from one q***r community to another, from Oak Lawn to Tucson, we are holding you in love.

We are praying for those who have been harmed, for those who are grieving, for those who are frightened, and for every person wondering whether it is still safe to be fully and beautifully themselves. And we recommit ourselves to the work of building a world where LGBTQIA+ people are not merely tolerated, but safe, celebrated, protected, and beloved.

On Thursday, September 3 at 7:00 p.m., we will gather in the Sanctuary of Oak Lawn United Methodist Churchfor a vigil in solidarity with the q***r community of Tucson. Join us in person for lament, meditation, and words of hope as we hold space for grief and remind one another that hatred will never have the final word. Those unable to join us in Dallas can follow along on our livestream at olumc.org/livestream.

Tucson, we see you. We grieve with you. We stand with you. And from the heart of the Oak Lawn neighborhood in Dallas, we send you our love.

You are beloved. You belong. And you do not walk this road alone.

In solidarity and hope,
Rev. Rachel Griffin-Allison, Senior Pastor
On behalf of the Pastors and People of Oak Lawn United Methodist Church

the NAIC (Nashua Area Interfaith Council) meeting yesterday opened yesterday with a Wendell Berry poem "The Peace of Wild Things" in memory of this beloved saint who spent his life asking important questions about how we live on this Earth, how we treat each other, what our economies say about our values, and whether we can see creation as a gift instead of just a resource.
