Minnesota Council of Churches
The Minnesota Council of Churches is organizing a rally, - a witness of lament on the morning of Tuesday, June 30 to beg Governor Tim Pawlenty not to abandon the health of Minnesota’s citizens, especially those most in need.
As people of faith we want to send the message that this is not the Minnesota we are called to ...be. It is against the teachings of all our religious traditions. We want to remind Governor Pawlenty that he is governor of all the people and plead for his care for all.
Gather at Christ Lutheran Church on Capitol Hill, 105 University Avenue, St. Paul, by 10:15 am. We will stage in congregational groups and process in a somber, funeral-like procession beginning at 10:30 am. Please wear black and bring old flowers and notes to the governor expressing your faith-based concern about these budget decisions.
We will process down Martin Luther King Blvd, cross and gather on the South steps of the Capitol. Please deposit your flowers and cards in the baskets provided.
A delegation will deliver the cards and letter to the Governor’s office.
Please encourage members of your community to participate in this demonstration of our faith in God and the values of our state.Read More
