On
behalf of the Black Lives Matters Ministry Action Team, I want to
wish you all a joyous and loving holiday season. We honor each one of
our congregants, and confirm that no matter what you go through in
this life, you are loved, you are worthy.
I
am also reminding you that the Black Lives Matter Ministry Action
team does not say that black lives matter more than your life. We are
not saying that there is only so much love and justice to go around.
We ARE saying that until black people know justice, no one will know
justice. To borrow from our Universalist ancestors, none are saved
until all are saved.
We
aren’t there yet. We aren’t where we deserve to be. We aren’t
yet living in the world we were promised at our birth, but we will
get there. Each day we meet fear and anger with love we bend the arc
a little closer to justice.
