We urge you to change this situation by voting for candidates who support sensible gun reforms and ensuring that all citizens have the opportunity to vote. Our partners at Brady: United to Prevent Gun Violence and March for Our Lives have put together an excellent toolkit highlighting the essential link between voting rights and our country’s ability to enact popular and sensible gun safety legislation

FROM THE ARCHIVES

From the Archives: Christian Responsibility

Since the beginning of the Experiment of Democracy in this country, elections and the duty to vote have been discussed, written about, disagreed about, and bandied back and forth. The church, and those within it, have not avoided opinion and have used their positions to influence others.

ENCOUNTER THE STORY

Theological Reflection – the poetry of Malcolm Guite

Aug 4, 2020 | Encounter, Featured post, Formation

Like the other arts, poetry has the capacity to, in Lewis’ own phrase, “steal past those watchful dragons” of our hardened hearts in such a way that we are able to encounter God afresh. That’s what I experienced among my colleagues last week, when in our biweekly Theological Reflection time we spent an hour simply reading some of Guite’s poems and reflecting on them.

Context dictates our vision – Privilege blinds us

Aug 4, 2020 | Encounter, Featured post, Truth and Reconciliation

But this I do know. I am a Christian. And I was created as equally and as belovedly by God as every other human being on this earth. I know that this world has both darkness and light and that the world looks toward the United States as a privileged beacon of hope and safety, freedom and opportunity.

Many of us may be wondering how the church is ever going to “get back to normal” when this pandemic crisis finally comes to an end. It may ease our minds a little if we think back to even bleaker times and discover the resilience of the people of God, the Church, when faced with seemingly unsurmountable odds against survival.

Inspiration for new times from one of our diocesan youth programs

In this, I am their complete ally. They are young adults and should have a say in how they manage their time. This is the time to learn that important skill, and they do that by making some of their own choices. With all of this in mind, I want to try something radical with the High School. We are going to combine High School Sunday School and High School Youth Group. And, we are not going to meet on Sunday mornings.

C.A.M.P. at Claggett Offers Alternative to At-Home Virtual Learning

Aug 18, 2020 | Belong, Diocesan News, Featured post, Mission and Outreach

There is a growing trend, among families with the financial means, to hire private tutors, or form “microschools” with like-households (“pandemic pods”) that combine resources to hire educators. These trends may exacerbate the already significant education and opportunity gap between wealthy and moderate-to-low-income families, a gap which disproportionately impacts people of color.

Baltimore Faith Leaders Call for Justice, Peace and Prayer

Jun 3, 2020 | Belong, Prayer and Worship

We applaud and stand with all who are raising their voices in protest against this latest injustice, and the entrenched, systemic racism in our society that it reflects. We most especially applaud all those on our streets and in our communities who are refusing to join individuals – often not from our own communities – who would cause the safety of our people, neighborhoods and institutions to be torn asunder by reckless violence.
