We stand united in solidarity with the people of the United Kingdom as they mourn the loss of their Queen. In the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, we acknowledge with affection the great gift she has been not only as the monarch and head of state of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth but also to the world as a leader that led her people by example through her dedication and sense of service. One of her greatest attributes was her love for her faith and her embracing that faith in everything she did. She has been a living example to us of a lived Christian faith.

May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

Amen.
