In this message from General Minister and President Rev. Terri Hord Owens, she reflects on the staggering loss of 1 million US lives and forty thousand Canadian lives to Covid-19.
Reflecting on the mystic and theologian Howard Thurman’s poem A Time for Sorrow, Rev. Hord Owens shares “You may have lost loved ones—grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, colleagues, parishioners, clergy. So much loss. It has touched us all and changed our world forever and so we lament. We pour out our grief and we turn to the one who is the God of all comfort.”
