The Sixth Sunday of Lent – Feasting on Inclusion

This is the final Sunday of Lent (aka Palm Sunday) when Jesus entered Jerusalem to welcoming crowds. “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna!” There was excitement in the air, anticipating what Jesus would do next. And what did he do? He entered the temple court and flipped the tables of the money changers, reminding everyone that the temple was intended to be a place of prayer for all nations (Isaiah 56:7). Jesus feasted on inclusion that day, and so are we. Today, we break down the “Wall of Identities” and the exclusion of people based on their gender identity and orientation. This afternoon at 2:30 pm, we will join the Logan Square Ecumenical Alliance, Brave Space Alliance, SOUL and other groups at the Cook County Jail this afternoon to rally for the protection of transgendered inmates held at the jail. For more information about the rally, go to the Facebook Event page. The event will be streamed to the LSEA Facebook page.
