We welcomed Meredith Ward as our preacher this Sunday. Meredith has been an active member of Ascension for ten years and is a Postulant for ordination to the Priesthood in the Diocese of New York. She has just completed her second year at Union Theological Seminary.
In this week’s newsletter, the rector responds to the detention crisis at Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, where detainees are on hunger and work strike protesting inhumane conditions. She shares letters from detained immigrants—our siblings and beloved children of God—and invites us to pray, witness, fast in solidarity, support families of detainees, do justice, and act with mercy.
