A Period of Prayer & Meditation in Solidarity with the Mount Tabor Community

This is a message from University Chaplain Timothy L. Auman and Dean of the School of Divinity & Wait Chapel Jonathan Lee Walton.

A child was murdered in Winston-Salem. A senseless and cruel act unleashed terror in a building designed to be a sanctuary of learning and development, Mount Tabor High School. We pray for the family and friends of William Chavis Raynard Miller, Jr.

The days and weeks ahead will be difficult for so many. Teachers must resume instruction in classrooms where children hid under tables and in closets. Parents must relive those frantic moments of vulnerability associated with sirens whisking through the streets of Winston-Salem. And students at Mt. Tabor must attempt to learn in a space where the life of their classmate was stolen.

This tragedy also reveals the interconnected nature of our communities. Violence is never an isolated act. One deadly gunshot impacted the lives of thousands of children, families and educators. This turn of events affected many within the Wake Forest family. Thus, we seek to sit in prayer and solidarity as an initial act of comfort and support.

We invite all to join us today for a period of prayer, meditation and reflection in solidarity with the Mount Tabor community. We will hold space in Davis Chapel from 12 noon – 1 p.m. for silent prayer.

In solidarity.

Sincerely,
Timothy L. Auman, University Chaplain

One Luv,
Jonathan Lee Walton, Dean of the School of Divinity & Wait Chapel

Annual Wake Forest Christmas Lovefeast to be held virtually on Dec. 6

Wake Forest University will hold this year’s annual Christmas Lovefeast ceremony virtually on Sunday, Dec. 6, beginning with a prelude at 5:45 p.m. with a service to follow. Lovefeast candles and event programs

Wake Forest has been celebrating the Lovefeast since 1965. This year’s virtual, pre-recorded event means a larger audience can enjoy Lovefeast from the safety of their own homes. The video will be shared on the Lovefeast website on the day of the event. A crowdfunding page for the Chaplain’s Emergency Fund is replacing donation baskets typically available as people exit Wait Chapel.

The Chaplain’s Emergency Fund was created to help Wake Forest faculty, staff, students and employees of outside contracted groups in times of temporary, emergency financial hardship. Donations will be accepted until Dec. 10, with a goal of 2,250 donors to match the capacity of Wait Chapel.

“In the midst of finding stability in our post-election world, in the hectic rush to prepare for a socially distanced Christmas and New Year, we will gather once again as a campus community to remind one another that there is love in the world,” said Wake Forest Chaplain Timothy Auman.

A story highlighting the 2020 Christmas Lovefeast can be found on the University news site.
