I wanted to just show some of the ways in which the church is responding to the current situation in Baltimore.
The first is a pretty incredible statement here by Bishop Eugene Taylor Sutton which gives some background to the situation in Baltimore, but also the widespread racism towards African Americans and the widespread oppression and anger surrounding this. What strikes me about Bishop Eugene's message is how he reminds us that these issues are not just Baltimore's issues, but the world's issues, and how we can respond.
It is a call for peace, but also a call to action, a call to trust in a God who knows suffering, but also a God who teaches us not to fear evil, but to rise against it in the power of love.
Right, is a clip of the clergy marching through West Baltimore as part of a protest against the widespread racism and poverty across the city.
