Social Justice & Advocacy Column: George Floyd Memorial Service | All Saints Episcopal Church

On May 25, a group of Episcopal Bishops, including Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, will hold a virtual memorial service to mark the first anniversary of the murder of George Floyd. The service will include prerecorded liturgy, messages and music, including a 9 minute, 29-second video created by the Rev. Kevin Goodman, interim rector of All Saints, Western Springs.

Nine minutes and 29 seconds is the length of time then-police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on Floyd's neck, killing him.

Bishop Curry will offer a reflection during the service, which will be led by Minnesota Bishop Craig Loya, Missouri Bishop Deon Johnson, Michigan Bishop Bonnie Perry, Indianapolis Bishop Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows, Washington Bishop Mariann Budde and Colorado Bishop Kym Lucas. The service will air at 7 pm Central time on the Facebook pages of those dioceses, as well as those of other dioceses and seminaries that are participating, including the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago. A Facebook account is not needed to watch the service.
