Response to Today’s Supreme Court Decision

As the first denomination to ordain a woman in 1854, our United Church of Christ has always empowered, trusted, and respected women and their leadership, wisdom, and self-determination. Today’s Supreme Court decision is counter to what we stand for and to the wholeness and wellness of women. While our social justice list is long, it just got longer and even more personal for over half the population. I encourage you to grieve, to pray, and most of all to act! This is not justice – this is not mercy, it is not walking humbly with our God who made us equal, free, wise, and discerning.  This evening, June 24, 2022, the UCC is offering a service of Gathering and Lament: Beyond Roe at 6:00 p.m. Eastern on Zoom.
