In
response to last week’s school shootings in Parkland, FL, please join as you
feel led to this action step from our Bishop of North Georgia Methodism Sue Haupert-Johnson
to address issues of mental illness, gun violence, and the protection of
our
children.
"I invite the churches of the North Georgia Annual Conference to join the Florida Annual Conference and others in a letter-writing campaign to our legislators to prioritize the safety of our children. I know this is a difficult and polarizing issue, but I pray we can carry out our Lenten focus of having crucial conversations with hearts at peace regarding mental illness, guns, and the violence of our culture. Below is a link with Bishop Carter's suggestions for action. I am praying for all our churches as we grieve and lament this Sunday. I yearn for the day when our flags are not flying at half-mast after such a tragedy. ---Bishop Sue
