Beloved Community,

 
It is only with the compassion at the depths of the human heart that one can respond to the tragic shooting in the Emanuel AME church in South Carolina. I could not help but think of our own beloved congregation, of those in mosques, synagogues, temples and other spiritual communities who no doubt are joining us right here, right now, in praying for all those who lost their lives, for their loved ones, their fellow congregants.

When you receive this email, I urge you to pause and pray, not only for those in South Carolina who were directly affected by this tragedy, but for our world, for truly we are one human family. Let us all recommit to do the inner spiritual work to accelerate our consciousness of unconditional love, forgiveness, and compassion that dissolve the sense of separation from the Spirit that lives within every man, woman and child on the planet.

I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday and knowing together that we live, move, and have our being in that, which despite any and all appearances, is the Immortal Self.

Boundless blessings and love,

Rev. Pam
