[Lekooks] Thankyou & questions for today's service

[Erin Jay]

I'm so grateful that despite my late night and sleeping through the alarm
clock, I  woke up in time for today's service.
WOW wow wow wow wow

Thank you Erich for changing the topic.
This was something that my soul and heart needed.

Thank you Alissa for articulating what I had heard from other friends on FB
about what we can say.

Every time I tried to join in the conversation I got cut off so I hope I
can reach you here.

I have a few questions for you and/or anyone on the committee
1.)What are some ways to respond to some people who continue to think that
this rioting is just giving people of color a bad name.....

I feel that when I hear this and other similar things said there are
probably a few simple responses I can say without starting a confrontation
or an argument......

 I would prefer to engage in something active and helpful rather than to
defend or start conversations with people who are focusing on the riots and
not the cause behind or the justice system that cause this anger

2.) I totally appreciate Gerry's question and would love to know where I
too can write letters.... And or what I can do from the sidelines....

I'm in a high-risk group so I'm not feeling safe even going to the grocery
store let alone a large crowd

I'm imagining these lists of people to write to already exist... rather
than me spending hours trying to find the addresses and names of people if
it's already out there I'd appreciate hearing about it.....

3.) if somebody wants to do a zoom book group on the "waking up white" I'd
be interested


Thank you so much for providing inspiration on this bright sunny morning

Erin Johnston
