"I was invited by Rev. Del Phillips to offer a prayer today as one of 13 clergy from Denver to launch Pray Act Trust—30 days of noontime prayer and action in response to COVID-19. One of the people who offered a public prayer on the call today specifically named homosexuality and abortion as sins for which we need forgiveness...These words and this theology are violent, and they do not reflect a loving God who made us in God’s own image. There is no place for such hate and violence in our shared prayer life."
