Posted for Erika by Andrew:
I received this message/concern/suggestion from a member last week:
”I wish BUF or the committee could put a sentence or two each week in the
order of service just so that the congregation has nudges to remind them this s
an issue consistent with our principles.
I talked to someone at coffee hour who said she didn't agree Black
Lives Matter because it supported violence against police. I said I
thought it was predicated on non-violence. She didn't believe me. I need
to research and find some credible sources.
Also, until there is a basket of free Black Lives Matter pins at coffee
hour, at the greeters' station, etc., I won't rest. everyone needs easy
access." Discuss next week? Bring to group? Do we have a group e-mail list yet?
Thank you for all you do. I am grateful to be collaborating.

The BUF Black Lives Matter Ministry Action Team seeks to nurture the social, spiritual and personal development of congregation members in the exploration of how racism and privilege impact our congregation, our community, and our nation. In particular, we acknowledge the targeted violence which impacts black people disproportionately.
