ABOUT ME
Marcia Ledford
AUTHOR | PRIEST | SPEAKER | ATTORNEY
Throughout my life, I have worked for justice, first as a civil rights attorney, and now as an Episcopal priest. I learned that I wanted to argue the compassionate Gospel in court. The First Amendment prohibits Gospel rhetoric in court.
Yet, we can work for justice in the court of public opinion, and the First Amendment guarantees that. Join me to do justice and love mercy for a more compassionate and inclusive American society. Together, we will make a difference.
And, rightly so.
"Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice."
--The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

in order to form a more perfect union,
do not have to settle for what our federal government is doing. My new book is a heartfelt response to our cruel laws and policies that are tearing our country apart. This book also has some bite. We have First Amendments rights that protect us in speaking out against unjust laws and policies. We are even protected in speaking in the public square about our faith. We the people of faith must speak out when our government marginalizes people.
My recent survey indicates people don’t feel they can make a difference. But remember, Jesus, the 12 disciples, and women and men alike, changed the world. Take heart and do something for justice. You will help someone, you will send a strong message that you’re not having it. You will feel better, and your spiritual life will deepen. How am I so sure? It’s happened to me. Let’s work for justice together.
