As the tragedy unfolded this past week in Ferguson it brought me back to the nightly news of my childhood--the riots and the civil rights struggle. We have much still to learn. MACUCC Minister and President, Jim Antal wrote a blog post in response at http://www.macucc.org/blogdetail/251528. I found the link below, which he had in his post, especially powerful. I hope to have more conversation about what to do this fall.
Things white people can do
I leave Saturday to visit my son in London. When I return September will be here and on Sunday the 7th, we resume services at the Highlands. It will be so good to see all of you.
The 7th of September is also the Victorian Fair in downtown Melrose. Once again, we will have a booth. Many thanks to our organizers, Heidi Hood and Liane McCarthy. Please contact them if you can help by staffing the booth for an hour.
I will continue with weekly open drop-in office hours this fall. I have enjoyed having you stop in for a conversation. My next drop-in office hour at LaQ (corner of Franklin St. and Belmont) is on Wednesday, September 3rd from 3-6 P.M. and will continue each week. Please stop in and say hello! I am also available for appointments in my church office; please let me know a good time for you.
During my time away, Deacon Paul Lind and a pastor colleague are on call for emergencies. Please call Paul @ 781-258-2633 if you have a need while I am away.
Enjoy this lovely end of summer! I hope to see you in September.
Blessings, Beth
