Dear Friends in Christ, Like all of you, we are angry and heartbroken about the cold hearted murder of eight people in Atlanta, six of whom were Asian women. Furthermore, we are angry and heartbroken about the multiple acts of violence, targeted toward Asians, in our city and Bay Area and the lack of response from our city. This crisis reflects the deep wounds of racism that has existed for far too long. From Chinese Exclusion Act,Japanese internment camps, 92' Los Angeles ...riots in Koreatown, to how our COVID rhetoric has fueled Asian bias. The murders in Atlanta were not an isolated incident, the violence toward Asian Americans on the streets of SF are not isolated incidents. We commit again to the work of racial reconciliation and justice. The work that needs to be done is ongoing, the work of repentance and reconciliation is work that we will need to do our whole lives. To begin, we invite you to: - call your local officials to demand justice - if you're able donate to these organizations: Red Canary Song, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Atlanta, Chinese Progressive Association in SF, Stop AAPI Hate, AAPI Community Fund - if you're a white person, we invite you to find ways to amplify the voices of those who are not being heard. Educate yourself, join groups doing anti-racism work. If you need help to find a place to start, let me know! - attend bystander intervention trainings (check out the work of hollaback!) There is nothing easy about all that is unfolding around us. I pray that we, as followers of Jesus, walk the way of love and join the work being done to change this world we live in. chaplain hannah

We wait; we may wait in despair, or at least in deep disappointment. But we may also wait differently; we wait in confident faith; we wait in eager longing, we wait on the Lord.... We wait for the future and against despair, because we know that you, the God of life, will defeat the force of death. We know that the Friday execution could not defeat the life lived by Jesus nor the life lived by his faithful people. As we wait, we practice our next moves for the coming dance; it is only a little whileyet a little while; we will walk the long march of obedience; we will run the race of discipleship; we will soar like eagles into God’s good future of neighborliness. We know that you will overcome the silence because the silence.no more than the darkness. can overcome the Lord of Life. Amen. (Brueggemann, Virus as a Summons to Faith, 34) See more

our lives will never return to the way they were, and they shouldn't. this pandemic continues to push us and has forced us to see things we won't be able to unsee. this time is changing us, may it be changing us for the better.

Prayer for morning coffee. #dogoodworks #yourmugmatters

EcHouse has some open rooms, if you hear of some YA or college students who are in need of housing/being displaced by these fires, please put them in touch with our chaplain Hannah ([email protected]). Or if there are other resources we can help with, we are eager to help.

Good day, beloveds. It’s been a hot minute since we’ve posted anything. EcHouse has faced a whirlwind as we took things online and still tried to make sure our students were being fed in body and soul. You’re chaplain also really sucks at social media but I’m commuting to doing better. For now, just wanted to send some love and let you know we’ve got some really exciting new things coming. And here’s just a friendly reminder that you all are f^<%ing gems, #blacklivesmatter, and lets keep doing the internal work of educating ourselves and also working toward systematic change.

Hey Queers. I know it's not how we want it, but this is our weekend. Don't forget to celebrate PRIDE. Reflect on how far we've come and ponder how much is sti...ll left to do. Support our Black and Brown community members and memorialize those Trans Lives who cleared the way for us. Be proud, be gay and joyful, but don't forget it wasn't always easy and don't forget to help your neighbors needing assistance now. Our community is stronger together. And Love is the greatest bond. Happy Pride.

TONIGHT!!!!! The spirit of Sacred Activism is alive in all these Sisters!!!! And they’ve all got something to say. They will be joining other queer nuns to SPE...AK UP, INSPIRE and REPRESENT for our communities’ fight against social injustices. We invite you to Joy in Action - Virtual Global Sisterhood Show on Wednesday, June 24, 2020 @ 7:00 pm PDT. Streaming on YouTube LIVE on my YouTube channel (Sister Fancy Pants). Link in the bio. AND streaming on my Facebook profile (Tee Kow).
