She was recognized in 2009 as a straight ally for equality by PFLAG National: www.straightforequality.org/Angelou Read more about Maya's life: www.nytimes.com/2014/05/29/arts/maya-angelou-lyrical-witness-of-the-jim-crow-south-dies-at-86.html May she rest in peace and rise in glory!

Fred Phelps died today. He seemed a sad, angry man. His tactics brought a load of hurt down on people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, and on military families trying to bury their loved ones in peace. With painful rhetoric and hate-filled signs, Phelps and his crew picketed my church on Mother’s Day the year I was ordained. As a member of the staff of ReconcilingWorks who strives to dwell in graceful engagement, as a member of the clergy roster of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and as a Christian trying to live justice, love, and grace, I say to those who stand in hatred, to those who pray inside, to those who run away, and to those who have to hide: “God loves you. I love you. And there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.” God is God. Love is love. Justice is justice. Grace is grace. And so it goes through eternity and past infinity.

Stations of the Cross are a series of artistic representations of the Passion of Christ, depicting the story of his death from his sentencing to the laying of his body in the tomb. The fourteen images are used devotionally during the Lenten season for prayer and reflection. They provide an opportunity for Christians to enter into the story of Christ's suffering and experience a relationship with a God who suffers with us. This series of stations combine images depicting the struggle for LGBT equality through the 20th and 21st century. Each station illustrates the many ways in which the pursuit of justice for LGBT peoples is embedded in the history of the United States. Artwork by Mary Button, 2013
