Right Reverend Wendell Gibbs, Bishop of the Episcopalian Diocese of Michigan, will speak this Tuesday at St. John's Church in Royal Oak. He will discuss the importance and impact of marriage equality in Michigan. The talk is sponsored by the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights.
A noted supporter of marriage equality, Gibbs has said, "I stand in support of marriage equality and pray that our justice system will work to break down the walls of segregation, promote the humanity of all and calm our irrational fears."
Founded in 1980 by the late social activist Bishop Coleman McGehee, the Michigan Coalition for Human Rights (mchr.org) is an advocacy group committed to human rights through communication, education, community organization and action. MCHR opposes those institutions and individuals which suppress human dignity, freedom and justice locally and around the world.
The event will take place at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 9 at St. John's Episcopal Church, 26998 Woodward Ave., Royal Oak. Parking is available behind the church. There is no admission fee, but donations will be accepted.
