Easter message

Dear Friends,
Easter is meant to be a time of hope and promise. The reality you are facing currently in Moldova is one filled with violence and uncertainty. People are standing up and demanding justice, those with hearts of courage are saying, ENOUGH!

Jesus stood up to the authorities of his day, he stood with the marginalized and the oppressed. He did not advocate violence as a way to change the oppressive structures but, instead, he spoke of peace, love and compassion.

In these treacherous and tumultuous times, hold in your hearts the knowledge that you walk in the sacred footsteps of Jesus, the activist. Jesus changed the world through love and peace.
This Easter season, all of MCC stands with you.

Remember the promise of hope that arrived that first Easter so long ago when a woman went to a tomb and found it empty. You are loved and we are praying for you and with you.

Happy Easter!
Blessings of hope and prayers for peace,
Rev. Elder Diane Fisher, Bishop
Metropolitan Community Churches

Christmas greetings

Dear Friends,

May this Christmas season be filled with peace, love and prosperity. MCC’s around the world, wish our brothers and sisters celebrating Orthodox Christmas, a season filled with wonder and delight.
A babe born so long ago, wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger brought a message of hope and a promise of freedom.
I wish for you all a joyous time of celebration with family and friends.

We commit to continue the work for peace and freedom that was foretold of so long ago with the birth of Jesus. Florin, Jason and I especially wish our friends in Moldova, Romania and the Ukraine a very Merry Christmas.

God Bless,

Rev. Elder Diane Fisher
