[Episocpal Diocese of Southwestern Virginia] On behalf of the Diocese of Southwestern Virginia, and in solidarity with the church and its bishops in the Diocese of Virginia, I strongly condemn the violence and hate currently taking place in Charlottesville. There is no place, whatsoever, for white supremacy or hate-filled rhetoric in the streets of Virginia or anywhere else in this country. As disciples of Jesus, we are to be peacemakers and reconcilers. I ask all Episcopalians in Southwestern Virginia to come together with bold courage and the hope of Christ to counter those who dwell in the darkness of fear and hate.
