SAN FRANCISCO — Easter is a time to celebrate new life and new beginnings and, on Sunday, San Francisco’s Glide Memorial Church held its first in-person Easter service in two years. It came at a time of great change.
“This Easter is more special than any of the other ones because of the pandemic, because we haven’t been able to see each other, so this is more special,” said 30-year Glide choir member Stacey Pearson. “It’s a time of transition but it’s a time of torch-passing as well,” said Minister Marvin K. White. “This is not happening outside of Cecil. Cecil is very much passing this along.”
“It’s the first real big gathering since the pandemic began,” he said. “So folks are really eager to come and test the waters about reentry and trying to feel what it’s going to be like to be back in community.”
