The Rt. Rev. Eugene Sutton Sermon GC80

[@boomerthomas4309]

God bless Bishop Sutton and the Diocese of Maryland!

[@yvonnefarrell1029]

"Those who are near" get ignored sometimes with the understandable outreach to refugees; there are so many in need including White people and "all are one in Christ Jesus" regardless of whether their ancestors were slaves or whoever they were. We pray that the Diocese of MD and the Church writ large keep walls around people who are at risk of homelessness, breaking down the walls between us. Diversity not uniformity; beautiful, thank you Bishop Sutton. More Jesus, more love.

Thank you for your words! May we feel God’s guidance and respond.

What would Jesus do? Perhaps He would've mentioned that there are more living in slavery today than ever before and that puts a tremendous responsibility on all of us living today. Let us remember that the lessons of the past and the need for reparations apply to everyone and not just those who share our skin color. Let us be more charitable in judging past generations and not forget the thousands who fought and died to end legalized slavery in the United States.
