Committed to Racial Justice & Allyship
“When I think about what love looks like, I see us channeling our holy rage into concrete, productive and powerful action.” - Michael Curry, Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church
God loves justice. And throughout scripture we are urged to love and seek it, as well. All Saints is committed to building diversity and equity in our neighborhood and formation in allyship.
If you are interested in being part of an ongoing racial justice effort through the All Saints Social Justice & Advocacy Committee please email [email protected].
