There has been a lot of hateful rhetoric recently, and it’s escalating.
Public officials, organizations, and even houses of worship are being threatened with violence.
Two Saturdays ago, the neo-Nazi, white supremacist “Aryan Freedom Network” held what it called its “Aryan Fest” in Oglethorpe County.
And most shocking, an Athens house of worship received an anonymous UPS package that was filled with live ammunition.
In response, let's stand together!
Unity Amid Uncertainty, an Interfaith Vigil to Hold Space for Love will be held tomorrow (Wednesday November 6th) at 7 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 780 Timothy Road in Athens.
A few relevant MLK quotes:
“We’ve got to love the hell out of them.”
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”
“We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
“I have decided to stick to love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
