A Word from the Bishop on the 2024 Presidential Election
November 6, 2024
Dear beloved members of the diocese,
Our country has elected a new president. And today, we rise. Our work continues and the Gospel endures.
In these times, no matter our internal disposition, let us be the Gospel we proclaim. May we commit ourselves to continuing the work of race justice, to defending the rights of our siblings in the LGBTQIA community, to supporting immigrants with compassion and kindness, and to protecting the most vulnerable among us. We are called to live our faith and the call of our baptismal covenant to respect the dignity of every human being. This is what Jesus calls us to do.
Today, we rise. Love your neighbor and yourself. Let us continue to pray for peace and unity in Christ. The work continues and the Gospel endures, forever.
Faithfully yours,
Bishop Ruth Woodliff-Stanley
