Dear Friends, Neighbors and Members of St. Cyprian's,
Love is love.
The last couple days have been joyous for many in California. Wednesday afternoon many people gathered at the Civic Center, Grace Cathedral and in the Castro to celebrate the Supreme Court rulings for SCOTUS and DOMA; the singing, shouting, laughter, hugs from strangers, were all testimonies of the spirit in the City; she dwelled amongst the crowds, sang with the people, and was in each person. For many, the fight for equality for LGBTQ rights in California, following Prop 8, has been a long battle and the overturning for Prop 8 and DOMA offered a great sense of satisfaction and joy. There was and is something sweet and refreshing about knowing one's love is legal in the eyes of the state.
For many people, this fight for equality has been truth in action, it is doing truth, and finally doing truth set people free.
There is still so much work to be done, for LGBTQ rights, for immigrants, the underserved, homeless, and we are still fighting for rights for people of all races and gender. We at St. Cyprian's believe that everyone matters; we work really hard at building a community where everyone matters. This is something we believe is true, this is something we proclaim. Theologian Catherine Keller writes: "Truth is action. We don't simply know it; we have to make it happen... Testify to it, belong to it, do it, dwell in it, even in Jesus' case to enflesh it."
As we continue to rejoice in one victory for Califonia, let us at Cyprian's and in the community remember that truth is not a noun but a verb, it is something we do and live out. Our truth is that everyone matters, we know this to be true but need to make it happen. Not just testify to this truth, but belong to it, do it, dwell in it, enflesh it like Jesus, and fight for everyone. That is the only way to faithfully build a community where everyone matters.
See you soon at Turk & Lyon!
Peace,
hannah
