This election season has been one of the most contentious of modern times. Many of us feel helpless. But there are things you can do.

First, VOTE. Go out and vote.

Second, PRAY.

In light of the changes to the Supreme Court:


For my LGBTQ+ friends and family,

I will happily marry, bless, baptize, and affirm you.


You are made in God's image and are beloved.


If anyone needs to get married in the Fargo-Moorhead area, I would be glad to do so for you in the safest way possible.


If you live elsewhere, I will use my clergy connections to find you a safe colleague to do the same in your area.


Just contact me and I will do everything in my power to make it happen.
