Cathedral of Hope

Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and Jesus was alone on land. He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately, he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.

As they were coming home, when David returned from killing the Philistine, the women came out of all the towns of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with songs of joy, and with musical instruments. And the women sang to one another as they made merry,

“Saul has killed his thousands,
and David his ten thousands.”

Saul was very angry, for this saying displeased him. He said, “They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands; what more can he have but the kingdom?” So, Saul eyed David from that day on.

Three Juneteenth celebrations to 'mark freedom for all Americans' - United Church of Christ

Juneteenth celebrates when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston to announce freedom for all enslaved people living in Texas and other Confederate states.

News of the Emancipation Proclamation was issued on January 1, 1863 and declared all who held in the horrific, inhuman, unjust institution of slavery to be free. However, the news traveled slowly until Union soldiers arrived in Galveston two and a half years later on June 19 th in 1865 announcing the total emancipation for all persons who had remained in the brutal bondage of slavery.

For more information about Juneteenth and to participate in events today, please visit the United Church of Christ website.

[06/17/21]   Cathedral of Hope United Church of Christ is extremely saddened by the decision of the US Supreme Court today in regard to Fulton v. Philadelphia.

While this ruling is narrow in scope - its decision only applies to Philadelphia’s CSS contract and does not give religious organizations freedom to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people - we believe the Supreme Court made the wrong decision.

We believe that every child deserves a family. “As someone who adopted a beautiful baby girl nearly 7 years ago, I grieve this decision, but know that this is a temporary setback for LGBTQI people of Philadelphia. Denying the right to allow LGBTQ+ people to foster or adopt only hurts the children that are in desperate in need of a family and is contrary to the religious values that we believe are the values of Jesus,” said, Reverend Dr. Neil G Thomas, Senior Pastor.

As a community of faith, Cathedral of Hope United Church of Christ will continue to raise its voice in defiance of both religious and secular institutions that might want to use faith as a reason to legalize discrimination and will speak truth to power, calling out religious hypocrisy and its use to oppress LGBTQ+ peoples and other oppressed communities.
