SCLM Gathering Rites

Please email comments to letters@livingchurch.org.

Adapted from the website of the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music:

In response to General Convention’s Resolution A182, the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music has begun gathering rites that address issues of racial injustice and reconciliation. Some of the rites may be distributed for churches to consider in their Prayers of the People.

The SCLM envisions this as a churchwide project. Its members are eager to learn about the ways the Church has already been praying about racial reconciliation.

The SCLM asks for responses by Dec. 1.
