Dear People                       Whom God Loves,

SPECIAL INVITATION

Have you been hurt by bishops, priests, deacons, sisters, brothers or anyone else in a leadership position in the church?
If so I invite you to join us.

Have you hurt others in the church or not in the church?
If so I invite you to join us.

Have you been hurt in any way by others or hurt others in any way?
If so I invite you to join us.

When we think of abuse by church people, we naturally think of the sexual abuse by some priests and the cover-up by some bishops. Abuse however can come in other less obvious forms. It might be verbal abuse or emotional abuse. It could be rejection or being told that we were bad or unworthy. It could be by misuse of power. It could be by neglect. Perhaps we have been made a scapegoat.

To take part in this ritual, I invite you to do two things:

1. Take two or more minutes a day to be quiet and invite
the love we name God to heal us.

2. Each week do an act of kindness to or for someone.

The ritual will be useful and will take about 35 minutes. It will include music, scripture, and quiet prayer. It will start at 7:00 p.m. in the church on the following dates:

Tuesday,January 12
March 9
May 11
July 13
Sept. 14
November 9 7:00 p.m.

We are all both wounded and wounders…I as much as anyone else. Everyone is welcome.
Smile, God Loves You,
Father Clay
