Message from the Church in Ocean Park

​

You are a child of God.  You are Beloved of the Universe.  We are Family.

 

Oak Creek Sikh Community 
Charleston Black Christian community 

Pittsburgh Jewish community

New Zealand Muslim community 

and so many more who were murdered in the places where they worship.

​

The Church in Ocean Park is a family of people from a variety of faith traditions, and the 49 people who were murdered are members of our family.  When one member suffers, we all suffer.  We condemn the hatred that comes from "othering" people who are not like us.  

 

White supremacy, nationalism and "christian" exclusivism cause the deaths of our sisters and brothers in the U.S. and around the world every single day.  So we recommit to working for a more beloved community and world.  We recommit to fighting racism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, antisemitism, militarism, ableism and more in a society and system designed to keep divisions in place. 

​

You are a child of God.  You are Beloved of the Universe.  We are Family.  

You are Welcome at the Church in Ocean Park.
