Together we join our voices to honor our calling to speak out against the profiling, persecution, and execution of our siblings of color. - St. Paul’s Episcopal Church

Rev. Allan Cole from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, will be reading aloud Rev. Daniel Guillory’s autobiographical story about the ways the criminal justice system has been 'criminal' in the name of 'justice' and the vital need for a restorative justice system and grace. The reading will be followed by both personal and theological reflections on the importance of sacred hospitality, and the impact of stepping into the shoes of a person who has been impacted by the violence of the criminal justice system. 

This performance is part of Motus Theater’s Shoebox Stories project and our Welcoming the Stranger series - a collaboration with faith leaders who express moral courage and civic hospitality as they read aloud the story of a person on the frontlines of violence and reflect both personally and theologically on seeing the world through their eyes.  

Sponsored by St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and the Race Taskforce of the Episcopal Church in Colorado.

Motus Theater is working creatively to meet the needs of people to connect meaningfully while honoring Safer-at-Home practices during the pandemic, and to find ways of reflecting on the ongoing challenges facing our community and democracy.
