Discussion with The Rev. Ed Bacon and Catherine Meeks
on Racial Inequalities

“My God, why have you forsaken me?” A Time of Lament


Join Dr. Catherine Meeks and the Rev. Ed Bacon for A Time of Lament at 7:30 p.m.  Monday, June 1, broadcasting live online from St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in downtown Atlanta. 
The video from that discussion is above

We gather to express grief and outrage at the heartbreaking and appalling killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd - and to remember the many innocent African Americans whose lives have been taken because of hatred and racism. 

We gather at a time of mourning the loss of 100,000 Americans to COVID-19, a disproportionate number of whom are people of color, and at a time of uncertainty in our national life.

It is difficult to imagine a more salient time for lament.
