Who Is My Neighbor When Black Lives Matter?
Winter solstice 2020. It’s always dark near Christmas but that year all seemed especially bleak. A covid vaccine was on the horizon, but even those of us designated as elderly would have to wait for months before our turn to be inoculated. Fear of disease, hospitalization, and death crippled our connections and made us afraid to be close to each other during our most joyous season.
The Walk of Abraham
In 2005, in an effort to reach out to the community and to become better known in an era of Islamophobia, Faith leaders from many traditions and the community at large was invited to break the fast together with MPAC providing a celebratory meal. All was free, though donations of food and money were suggested.
Love Community Action (LCA) to support Racial Justice Corporate Witness
Recently LCA had a meeting with Ministry and Council where we proposed the Buffalo Friends make a commitment to Corporate Witness to stand for Racial Justice in our community. Corporate Witness is important because it supports us developing and maintaining projects together, it supports learning across the meeting, and can support a more unified and robust presence and impact in our community. Corporate Witness can also bring the awareness and support of the Buffalo Friends meeting behind individual efforts of individual friends who have followed leadings.
