Vigil For Charlottesville
The Presbyterian Pastor read a statement from a Unitarian Minister who was at the counter-demonstration in Charlottesville, about refusing to accept hatred, bigotry, and terrorism.
Reverend Kimberly Chastain watched the behavior of the White Supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, and wondered why nobody in Binghamton was doing anything about it. Then she realized that she had a church, with a sound system, and the Christmas candles, and she knew a lot of the other clergy in town. She put a post in Facebook that there would be a non-denominational vigil in front of the United Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening. The local newspaper picked it up and posted it, as well. They were hoping to get 70 people. I stopped counting at 200.
