Tragedy in Atlanta
A Prayerful Response by the United Church of Christ
The national leadership of the United Church of Christ joins the National Council of Churches in grieving the deaths of eight people shot by a lone gunman at three Atlanta spas during 2021. The UCC shares the NCC statement below, offers a prayer for the victims and their families and issues a call to action against hate crimes.
The National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA (NCC) laments the tragic shooting deaths at three locations in Atlanta and the surrounding area on Tuesday evening. Reports indicate that six of the eight victims were of Asian descent and seven were women, deepening our concerns about the increasing anti-Asian and gender-based violence against women and girls in this nation. We grieve for those who have lost their lives and send our condolences to their families. May the heaviness of their sorrow be lifted and may they find peace.
Fighting Racism and Injustice
Dear Norfielders:
We have all thought that the Coronavirus pandemic is putting us all through some of the most tough and testing times of our lives. But events that have occurred Minnesota and elsewhere across our nation have been horrifying, infuriating and deeply saddening. Black communities continue to be hurting. African Americans in our community, including members of our own church, know that living life normally, like jogging, shopping or driving in a different neighborhood, can put them in harm’s way.
We Norfielders must acknowledge that this fear is real, and we must do all we can to aid, support and protect our sisters and brothers. Jesus commands us, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Norfield has a long and proud history of standing tall as the "Church on the Hill," the beacon of faith, hope, love and inclusion here in Weston. Now, we need to stand tall and together in the fight against systemic racism and injustice. We will not be silent.
Please watch for ongoing communications from Norfield’s Board of Outreach and Social Action, as we implement a plan of reflection, dialogue, education and action. We continue to welcome your ideas and thoughts. Please email: outreachgroup@norfield.org. Thank you.
Blessings, All of us from the Board of Outreach and Social Action
