This week marks the end of Pride Month in Baltimore - an opportunity to celebrate all of the amazing achievements in equality that have been made in our region in recent years as well as to name the many challenges that still lay ahead.

I hope you will join us this Sunday as we mark the end of Pride month with a special Eucharist as well as by sharing Memorial Episcopal Church’s own history of LGBT inclusion.

During the service members of the Church will take turn reading portions of the history and during coffee hour you are encouraged to discuss and share things that surprised or delighted you or even things you felt were left out.

This is living history and we should be “proud” (within the limits of our Christian tradition I suppose) to celebrate these accomplishments and the people who made them possible.
