COMMUNITY CHURCH OF NEW YORK

Lay leadership would also put us back on the streets where we belong. I've been attending rallies and protests and would really love for more of our membership to take to the streets with me. If that kind of activism isn't in our immediate future with our current membership, we can at least dig deeper into the subjects we've expressed interest in. We have an anti-racism group which I'd love to see expanded. Voter suppression is an immediate issue we can work on from our homes. We have a workshop budgeted for this year to learn about and build relationships with the Lenape. We've committed ourselves to the 8th Principle, which needs lay leaders if we're going to put our bodies where our intentions are. And, after being closed for pandemic and then for renovations, our Shelter should be open again this fall. All of these things require member involvement. I hope over the next two years, we see innovative leadership helping us engage these issues... Until we have a strong lay leadership..
