A woman named Justine Damond called Minneapolis Police Saturday night, to report noise or a possible assault in the alley behind her house. Soon the police arrived and fatally shot the woman who had called them. We did not include her name in this episode per the request of the family of the victim on scene Sunday, because we released this episode prior to notifications of her death to Australia. Now we all know more of her story than at the time we recorded this episode.

In reflecting on this Synod theme of making glad the city of God, it occurs to me that we the church are the river, that which makes glad the city of God. We are also that city. We have a lot of responsibility in this work. Our hands, feet, and voices must be engaged in bringing about a world that offers justice for the whole of Creation. We must bring about the day when all are welcome to the table. Check out this episode to also hear some of what I have personally been doing at this year's national UCC Synod gathering in Baltimore.
