@MorganFogarty talked to Pastor Ray McKinnon of South Tryon Community Mission in SouthEnd @stcumc - a respected community leader and activist. He urges that people be mindful during the protests. #WCCB#CLTnews
White Supremacy is sin. Full stop. My clergy colleagues, especially my white colleagues, are doing their congregants no favors by tiptoeing around this sin. Name it fully. Allow the Wind of the Spirit to blow in and expose us and then we're led toward freedom and wholeness.
Friends, please take #COVID19 seriously. Do your part to #FlattenTheCurve by staying home, washing your hands, refrain from touching your face, and cough into a tissue (and dispose of it immediately) or your elbow. We will get through this be we must all do our parts.

Our prayers are with our muslim siblings around the globe today. The #NZTerrorAttacks were an assault against god and humanity. Hate will not win. Terror will not win. And white supremacy will not win; we won't allow it.
