– Hi, I’m Bishop Brian. Want to invite you to a special offering from our diocesan task force on becoming beloved community. On Thursday, November 18th at 6:00 PM, we will view together a documentary entitled “Awake: A Dream From Standing Rock.” This documentary profiles the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North Dakota as they recently resisted a US Government effort to build a pipeline across their native land. In the month of November, as Thanksgiving approaches, this is often a time that we reflect on the history of indigenous people in North America. This documentary is a chance to hear from them, to hear their story now. Realizing, it’s not simply a historic story, but it’s a story of this moment, of this moment in our country. So this will be a chance for us to gather by Zoom to watch this documentary and to reflect briefly afterwards on its impact on us and how it might continue to shape our work as proclaiming good news as God’s beloved community. Want to invite you to join us. At the bottom of this screen right now is a link to register. Join us, again, on Thursday, November 18th at 6:00 PM for “Awake: A Dream From Standing Rock.” I’ll see you there.
