Join prayer vigil in partnership with Episcopal Church in Minnesota
Join in an online prayer vigil remembering those who have died due to immigration enforcement or while in detention. Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe and Minnesota Bishop Craig Loya will speak; and the Rev. Lester Mackenzie, the church’s chief of mission program, and Rebecca Linder Blachly, chief of public policy and witness, will co-lead a short service of compline. Three members of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota will give readings, and Spanish interpretation will be available.
The service will offer space to mourn and lament, as well as to seek grounding in Christ as the church continues to witness to and work toward God’s love and justice for the world. Participants will be invited to share personal prayers in the chat.
