Large-Scale Clinics Part Of Plan To Vaccinate Underserved Communities In Colorado
The Rev. Dr. Timothy E. Tyler, pastor of Shorter Community AME Church, said that the vaccination clinic on Sunday was an intimate setting built on trust -- but he thinks it’s more than that.
“I'm of the opinion that it's, it's not so much trust as it is also access,” Tyler said. ”Right now the low numbers of Black and people of color that are getting this vaccination is not just because of trust It is not accessible to us, and it is not accessible to our communities. And so I'm more focused on that…”

Denver’s Shorter AME Church, Straight Talk About Race And Discrimination
Shorter African Methodist Episcopal Church in Denver was a fitting backdrop for a recent forum on race and discrimination, given that it was formed in 1868, when Colorado was just a territory and legal slavery was fresh in everyone's minds.
Church leaders allowed Colorado Matters to listen in as Shorter's pastor, Rev. Timothy Tyler, and his wife, Nita Mosby Tyler, led more than 200 people in conversation.

But when Pastor Javier Suarez rose to start the service, the words “Bless those who are here” tumbled out in Spanish: “Bendiga a todo lo que estan aqui.”
Johnson Chapel is an experiment in colors. Adopting the motto “Two cultures, two congregations, one church,” it has added a service in Spanish for about 100 Latino parishioners. The head pastor overseeing the church, including its core congregation of about 315 blacks, is white…
editorial commentary from Dr. Timothy Tyler
I recently had the pleasure of joining my brothers and sisters in faith in St. Louis for the annual Green The Church Summit, a convening of congregations from around the country dedicated to confronting the systemic issues posed by environmental injustice. Communities of color have long known that the effects of pollution aren;t evenly distributed — they affect vulnerable populations like ours with greater frequency and severity. Whether it’s soot in the air or lead in the water, the health and economic burdens of pollution have often fallen on those with the least of means. We came together with a shared understanding that to be a person of faith in the year 2019 means making a commitment to solving these fundamental issues.
