Letter: Defacing Richmond's rainbow is not Godly

Dear Editor, Re: “Rainbow targeted,” News , Aug. 2. Being afraid of differences and of change is normal, but what we do with that fear is what counts.

Dear Editor,

Re: “Rainbow targeted,” News, Aug. 2.

Being afraid of differences and of change is normal, but what we do with that fear is what counts.

Going out at night and pronouncing judgment on a symbol of inclusion and hope doesn’t make us a better person nor make Richmond a better place.

While these issues may seem overwhelming to some, they are quite simple for our life together: Welcome as God welcomes, love as unconditionally as God loves in Jesus. Defacing the artwork on the library steps is neither welcoming nor loving.
