DURHAM

As Christians, we follow a leader of peace. Jesus never chose violence as a solution. Violence is not the answer for people of faith who live in a covenant of love with God and with our neighbors. While there are many things we cannot do in this horrendous situation, we can offer words and gestures of support and kindness to our neighbors in Durham who are feeling attacked locally and globally. As others lash out with antisemitism and religious hatred, we can offer our prayers and support and seek to counterbalance the darkness and despair with regular infusions of light and hope... First Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church USA. Established in 1871, First Presbyterian is the oldest of the ten PCUSA churches in Durham... Beneficent provision for the poor, the unfortunate, and the orphan is one of the first duties of a civilized and a Christian state…."
