- August 8th is going to be an awful day
- I wish someone would open a safe space on that day
- A place where I could pray and weep
- A sacred sanctuary where I would pour out my ire at the other side,
- and then perceive God's grace minister in that brokenness
- I bet others feel the same way I do
- That Thursday will be unbearably painful as old wounds are opened,
- and they wish they had a haven where they would find divine aid
- I wish someone would plan something like that for me and all the people out there like me
- Wait. Maybe I'm supposed to be that person
After an early AM one-sided conversation with God (and a check-in to make sure my idea would be appropriate) I created a virtual vigil.
August 8th is the date of the church hearing regarding the complaint against The Reverend Anna Blaedel for being honest about who they are and who they love. A collective action of witness will take place outside the hearing location. The virtual vigil symbolizes the cloud of witnesses who will surround Anna that day in absentia.
