The Only Wrong Thing to Do Is to Say Nothing

Kerry Richards
President, Community of Christ Canada East Mission Centre

​I want to share my hope for peace specifically for the American people of all races, demographics and cultures. The focus today is upon the centuries old systemic violence and disrespect of worth towards the black community. My heart aches with yours for the individual personal pain, family fears, disrespectful outwardly enacted attitudes, lack of equality and opportunities that are borne by our fellow human companions of colour.

Oh God of love may we say and act with honour to uphold all persons as being of worth and beloved.

There are turning points in history. They happen as the critical mass of society declares at once from the heart that which is our collective human yearning for our common good. Today is that day. God be with us is my prayer raised up with you.
