Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The bishops of the Northeastern Jurisdiction have been in deep conversation, prayer, and mutual strategy in recent days regarding the deep and intentional ways that each of us can and should be responding to the depth of systemic racism that has been revealed in the murder of George Floyd.

Below is our statement to the people and churches of the Northeastern Jurisdiction.

The Journey Continues, . . .
