STANDING TOGETHER AGAINST RACISM AND AND VIOLENCE: A PRAYER VIGIL

Sunday, August 20, 2017, 6:00pm

On the Steps of Hancock Church (overlooking the Lexington Green)

The Lexington Interfaith Clergy Association stands in solidarity with all those who are horrified at the growth of racism, anti-Semitism, and bigotry that was recently on display in Charlottesville. We believe that all citizens of our community need to be ready, willing, and able to resist voices of hatred in our midst. We pledge to maintain vigilance in our community and to continue to raise the consciousness of members and parishioners about these evil that are growing in around us. We invite the Lexington community to join us on the stairs of Hancock Church, opposite the Lexington Green, for a prayer vigil to celebrate our solidarity against racism, bigotry, and anti-Semitism on Sunday evening, August 20th at 6pm.
