Has this been a blessing or an inconvenience? How are you communicating with your congregants and ministry partners? How has your region fared in dealing with the various add-on implications of flattening the curve – domestic violence, unemployment, food scarcity, mental health and suicide challenges, crime and violence, inability to gather together in one physical place as a … [Read more...]

Thursdays in Black

July 10, 2020

In every country, gender-based violence is a tragic reality. This violence is frequently hidden, and victims are often silent, fearing stigma and further violence.

Thursdays in Black: Resistance and ResilienceThe campaign is simple but profound. Wear black on Thursdays. Wear a pin to declare you are part of the global movement resisting attitudes and practices that permit rape and violence. Show your respect for women who are resilient in the face of injustice and violence. … [Read more...]

Wisdom from members

I AM CHANGING
Bless the confusion. Let it be.
Commend it to Earth
– like autumn leaves,
scattering, half-rotten,
seeding the future,
becoming fertile food,
for sleeping rose roots.
Be a leaf. Lie low. Be blown.
Receive rain. Fly to Earth.
Become a rose.
I bless the confusion and let be
– between seasons, I am
changing into me
