Subject: Black Lives Matter rally
The turnout was impressive at the Black Lives Matter rally in Muskingum
Park yesterday, mostly earnest younger people eager to express their
liberal values.  At least they looked young to me, but mostly young adults,
not high schoolers. I saw a sprinkling of older folks like myself,
including the Tings (photo attached) who had the sense to bring lawn chairs
(I didn't).  I was wondering how we might get some of these young people
involved in the church. They share our values but have no clear idea of how
to act on them - there were no complaints about the Marietta Police or
other local institutions.  Once we reopen the sanctuary we could use it as
a venue for events that might interest them.  I was thinking of starting a
Zoom discussion group on Sunday nights, but I'm not sure there is
interest.  I'm not sure there's much we can do with Zoom.  Is anyone in
touch with the people who organized the rally?  There must be an
organization of some kind. We could ask them for their ideas.
