Vigil For Charlottesville
Father John read a statement from the Catholic council condemning the behavior of the White Supremacists. He was contacted about the vigil rather late, so he showed up in jeans and tee-shirt.
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.
