What an event Temple Beth El hosted last night at Temple Beth El - a commemoration of the struggles and progress made since Stonewall with beautiful talks from ministers who lived through each of the five decades since Stonewall; beautiful video of and testimonies from the same-sex couples who got married in Washington DC with Charlotte-area clergy in April; and the kick-off of the Interfaith Equality Coalition.

I was honored to be a small part of this amazing gathering, and here is what I contributed, a closing prayer. Thanks as always to Rabbi Benjamin Arnold for introducing me to Rabbi Marley's interpretation of this verse from Psalms, and then setting the Hebrew to Bob Marley's tune too.
