Prayer Wall on Facebook
In response to Bishop Sharma Lewis’ Call to Action on May 29 to stop systemic racism, a task force was assembled by Bishop Lewis to begin work that will stem from her initial action steps. This group is a virtual place where clergy and laity of the Virginia Conference can visit and pray for racial justice and reconciliation. In this group, share your written or video prayers or other creative avenues to be prayerful in this space. Prayer and action must go hand in hand to stop systemic racism. This virtual prayer wall can serve as a means of igniting prayer movements toward stopping systemic racism.
