IN HONOR OF INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY ON SEPTEMBER 21ST, there were several peace activities in Pacifica
Three members of Saint Edmund’s participated in a public reading of Dr. Martin Luther King’s 1967 speech “Beyond Vietnam, A Time to Break the Silence” in front of the Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica. It was a well-attended event put on by the Pacifica Peace People.
FOLLOWING THE GUIDANCE OF LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS AND OUR BISHOP, WE ARE BEGINNING TO CHECK OFF NAMES OF EVERYONE 12 YEARS AND OLDER WHEN THEY SHOW US THEIR PROOF OF VACCINATION. WE HOPE THIS WILL ALLOW US TO DROP THE MASK AND DISTANCING REQUIREMENT IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
May we cloak ourselves in Christ’s love and brighten the the world around us with hope, grace, peace, and mercy.

“Though I may not be with you, I urge you to answer the highest calling of your heart and stand up for what you truly believe. In my life I have done all I can do to demonstrate that the way of peace, the way of love and nonviolence is the more excellent way. Now it is your turn to let freedom ring.”

Also, on June 7th Anna Devere Smith was Grace Cathedral’s guest preacher. Anna’s activism in exploring racism and inequality brought a special perspective to Grace Cathedral’s sermon as our nation and world are seeking to move forward with meaningful dialogue and changes in systemic racism. If you missed her sermon, you can find the link to it on Grace Cathedral’s website at gracecathedral.org. Click on “Services and Sermons” under “Spiritual Life.”
