MAY 19TH @ 7PM- Join the program committee of EquaSion’s “A Mighty Stream” Interfaith Racial Justice Initiative for the second webinar in a four-part series examining Faith Perspectives on Racial Justice. This panel aims to explore our spiritual understanding of race, racism, and racial just ice, by applying scriptures, tenets, practices, contemporary writings and/or beliefs to discover the ways we are called individually or collectively to enter racial justice work. Panelists will consider how to enter into truly transformational relationships across difference as an active demonstration of love and justice. Register Here.

After several days of sheltering in place with my immediate family, I returned to my Ohio home. At once, I I was greeted by two old friends who were waiting for me at my place. They were not human beings. Instead, they were piles of dust, behind two doors.
So, as I looked at the piles of dust, trying to decide which one I would attend to first, I imagined one of them saying to the other in an enthusiastic tone, “I have decided that I am better than you. This means , I am worth more than you, and I am more important than you.” So then, I imagined the other pile of dust being startled and issuing a rather stern rebuke: “Say what? Aren’t we both just piles of dust? How are you any better than me?”
Everything in history matters – even when it is minimized or swept away. Come explore the connections between past and modern day experiences in our communities.
