A church in St. Louis is heading an effort to raise funds for Black
churches recently burned by arsonists.<br>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
They'll raise money until August. The funds will then be split
among the congregations of those churches (and "if other black
churches are burned or previous fires are deemed to be arson, they
will be added to the distribution list").<br>
<br>
I don't know more about this effort, nor whether there may be
other parallel efforts. But it seems a very good thing to do, to
comfort the afflicted and to publicly show opposition to racist
terror.<br>
<br>
(sent to peace-discuss and CUCPJ discuss, and Bcc'ed to peace.
Please feel free to forward if you think appropriate.)<br>
<br>
Thanks to Michael Eisenscher of United for Peace and Justice.<br>
<br>
Their fundraising page (which shows they've raised about 70
thousand dollars so far):<br>

June, four predominantly black churches were burned down
by arsonists in a clear attempt to strike a blow at the
heart of the black community. As fellow children of God,
we stand with our sisters and brothers to help them
rebuild these buildings -- which are not just houses of
worship but centers of ministry for their community.</p>

the Rebuild the Churches Fund has been established to
collect donations from all over the world for the
rebuilding of these churches. We have set an initial
goal of $25,000. All money received will be divided
equally among these congregations:</p>
