"I know a great many people are feeling anxious these days. A sense of dread that is hard to describe has descended over them. The hours of the day weigh heavy upon them. They feel we are losing a way of life and are not sure how to regain it. I am not afraid to name this fear for it is against fear that I come bearing the common sense hope of my faith. We are not going to lose anything that we are not willing to give up. We stand to proclaim the strength of justice. We are united and we are committed. Fear is a shadow. The cause of the Spirit is the morning sun."---The Rt. Rev. Steven Charleston--Native American/Indigenous Ministries of the Episcopal Church
