God who loves us all,
you create us for each other.
Each child is our child.
Every person is our sibling.
We are connected in the web of life.
Help us live accordingly,
working to ensure
that everyone has enough.
Amen.

So Jung, you are remembered

Before her death in January of this year, my friend the Rev. Dr. So Jung Kim, who served the PC(USA) as the associate for theology in the Office of Theology and Worship, said to me in very low moment, “No one will remember me.”

I told her she was wrong.

On Sunday, St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, where my son Eric serves as transitional pastor, will include So Jung among the saints they name. I am grateful.

If your congregation is naming saints, I am sure you have many individuals to remember. I give thanks for each one of them.

And if you are so inclined, please include the Rev. Dr. So Jung Kim and help demonstrate that we do remember her.

For the Rev. Dr. So Jung Kim and all the saints – thanks be to God!

URGE CONGRESS: INTERVENE TO STOP U.S. MURDER ON HIGH SEAS

Amnesty International Action Alert

The Trump administration has now carried out eight illegal airstrikes at sea, killing at least 34 people. If the U.S. government can unilaterally decide to bomb anyone it labels a “terrorist” – anywhere, anytime – it sets a chilling global precedent. No government should have the power to kill without accountability.

Act Now: Sign our letter to your elected representatives: Congress must act ASAP to halt these illegal airstrikes.
