A Prayer of Rage and Lament from @morelightpresby (at Friends of Hope at UTC) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClTlwB8re30/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“We are deeply saddened by the news of hate turned deadly once again when on Saturday evening, a gunman armed with an AR-15 assault style rifle opened fire on the people celebrating and dancing inside Club Q, a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, CO. Because of the deadly design of an assault style rifle, in only minutes, the gunman killed five people and injured 25 others before club patrons stopped him and used his own gun to hold him until he was taken into police custody. This tragedy happened on the eve of Transgender Day of Remembrance. A day set aside to honor transgender and gender-nonconforming people killed by violence. According to a report from the Human Rights Campaign, at least 32 people have been killed this year but the number is likely higher due to the difficulty in collecting data because some victim’s deaths may go unreported and others may not be identified as transgender or gender non-conforming.   These past few years have been especially frightening for those in the LGBTQIA+ community as they have become a favorite target of Christian Nationalism and the politicians who exploit fear and hate to gain power. This hate-filled rhetoric combined with easy access to weapons designed for the sole purpose of killing as many people as possible lead to real life dangers.  In an average year, more than 24,200 hate crimes in the US involve a firearm—67 a day.” -Presbyterian Peace Fellowship We stand with the Trans Community for they are beautifully and wonderfully made in the image of the divine. Thanks be to God. https://www.instagram.com/p/ClRxKEAp0SY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
