"I’m grateful for the work of the Becoming Beloved Community Commission, and for the resources they have put together for the Diocese of Oklahoma, as we approach the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. Six months ago, our diocese joined together and raised $165,000 in the Bishop’s Appeal for Historic Vernon A.M.E. Church in Tulsa. Now, we have an opportunity to build on that same spirit of unity in our various commemorations of the tragic events of 1921 in our churches and with other groups. Every congregation in our diocese is unique, and it is up to our clergy (in conversation with the lay leadership in your congregations) to decide what of these optional resources to use and how to use them. I hope all of us will find meaningful ways to mark this solemn anniversary, as we pray and work for God’s reconciliation and God’s justice."
