Bay Area Episcopal Clergy Don Hoodies in Response to Trayvon Martin Shooting - April 9, 2012

New York Episcopal bishops speak on OWS, Trayvon Martin - March 30, 2012 - "At the six month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement, we repeat our support for the principles of Occupy, and our conviction that the issues and challenges raised by this movement are in our opinion among the most important of our day."

"We understand that it is inevitable that where civil disobedience breaks law it will provoke a response by police and governmental leaders. That is not only inevitable, but is of the very fabric of civil disobedience."

"This is also written against the backdrop of the heartbreaking killing of Trayvon Martin by a private citizen operating under the protection of Florida's wildly ill-conceived Stand Your Ground law. Laws and law enforcement practices which dehumanize, demean and debase; which deny and take life; and which are inherently racist, are ruinous to the freedom in which God intends us to live and contrary to the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

PECUSA ceased being a Christian denomination long ago.

Brewer said he didn't want to wait until all the facts are known about what happened the night Trayvon Martin was killed by George Zimmerman. His purpose in stepping forward was to show his support for the black ministers and community leaders who believe an injustice occurred in Sanford.

"Regardless of what happens in terms of all the facts, to stand behind them, especially as a white bishop, to support their concerns was the right thing to do," he said. "These are my neighbors."

I'll be watching to see if this moron marches in Sanford again if they decline to charge Zimmerman.

... As if I needed even another reason confirming why I left that cesspool they call a church.
