Civil unrest erupted in the city of Ferguson after a police officer shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown. The incident ignited a national conversation on race, policing, and the persistence of structural racism in our society.

The Diocese of Missouri is planning several events the week Of Aug. 5-9 including a daily Memorial Vigil (8 a.m. to 12 p.m.) at The Episcopal Church of St. Stephen and the Vine in Ferguson. Click here for the diocesan information.
