Dear Anne,=C2=A0=20
It has been over 50 years since Civil Rights activists marched in Selma, ye=
t c urrent events demonstrate that racist systems still oppress. P eople of=
color are faced with racism at swimming pool parties, killed at the hands =
of police, and now acts of violence have taken the lives of peaceful South =
Carolina churchgoers who welcomed their killer into an evening Bible study.=
=C2=A0=20

ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton=C2=A0 states...=20
It has been a long season of disquiet in our country. From Ferguson to Balt=
imore, simmering racial tensions have boiled over into violence ... the fat=
al shooting of nine African Americans in a church is a stark, raw manifesta=
tion of the sin that is racism. I urge all of us to spend a day in repentan=
ce and mourning. And then we need to get to work. Each of us and all of us =
need to examine ourselves, our church and our communities. We need to be ho=
nest about the reality of racism within us and around us. We need to talk a=
nd we need to listen, but we also need to act ... Kyrie Eleison. =C2=A0 =C2=
