When leaders of Baltimore's historic Memorial Episcopal Church learned of its surprising ties to slavery, they voted to remove the plaques honoring its founders. But it didn't stop there; they're committing $500,000 in reparations over the next five years. https://t.co/cwGQocbpWW

May our remembrance be a timely reminder that our freedom was purchased at high cost, and should not be taken for granted. Give us resolve to labor in faithful service to you until all share the benefits of freedom, justice, and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Gracious God, we give thanks for military men and women, both from the past and present, and for their courageous service and sacrifice to our country and its people to secure the blessings of life, liberty, and justice for all...

[Memorial Episcopal @MemorialBH]

Almighty God, to whom we must account for all our powers and privileges. Guide us all in this election of our representatives so that the the rights of all may be protected and our nation be enabled to fulfill your purposes through Christ our Lord. Amen.

"We can’t just continue to close our eyes to the history of the church." For faith communities that have begun admitting their racial transgressions, repenting of their role in America’s original sin can take many forms. @gatoredie @episcomd @memorialbh https://t.co/bjj7N7d8ji

Almighty God, who created us in your image: Grant us the grace of Dr. King to fearlessly contend against evil, make no peace with oppression and reverently use our freedom in the maintenance of justice in our communities, to the glory of your holy Name. Amen.
