Standing With Us Against Hate

December 10, 2010 by Rose Gurkin, Former Program Associate for Administration

We have been overwhelmed at the response to our brief statement regarding the protest planned for tomorrow’s service for Elizabeth Edwards. Already, as of midday on Friday, we’ve heard from more than 450 people who are standing with us against hate. Most are from North Carolina, but some are from former North Carolinians now living as far away as California and Switzerland. The complete list follows, and we’ll update it from time to time.  (At 2:30 p.m.., Monday, 914 people had signed on).

The responses have been accompanied by meaningful comments. Let me share just two. One person quoted Dr. King: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” Another reminded us that we should also be praying for the protesters. Click here to read more comments and submit your own.

    Just a quick correction, people from as far away, stateside, would be Washington. I didn’t see anyone from California; but, my cousin from Bellingham, WA did sign on & may have forwarded the mail to others in WA state. He is not a former NC resident, but does care deeply about what’s right. Thanks for providing this forum for folks who want to stand with others against hate.

    I am so thankful for your leadership. We must as Christians begin to give voice to the true biblical principals we faithfully standby. We must no longer be silent when we see these acts of injustice. We must be a courageous, responsible stand for love as Christ is and always has been.

    these crazies should be ashamed of themselves. I just don’t get it–never did, never will. May peace and a peaceful memorial take the day!!! God bless Elizabeth for her courage!
