To be witnesses to the resurrection we must utter our 'No' to state-sanctioned violence, racism, oppression, injustice, and all that endangers life and creation.
Even with all the good that we may be doing, we face a brutal reality. If we are really honest, we know we don’t always act in just and righteous ways.
So I will walk toward my LGBTQ siblings singing: “Though none go with me, still I will follow” because I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back, no turning back.
