“The Christian call is to incite peace, to demonstrate against injustice and oppression and to walk in the way of love for the dignity of all people. …Let us pray for reconciliation and order to ensure that our nation may go forward. Tomorrow will come a new day, and our actions will help determine how the American people, and the American experiment in freedom, peace, and democratic governance, will continue on along the path of history.” Dean Daniel, Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine
