Dear Friends,
We hope that you are safe and well.
Today's Meditation is a reflection by Carrie Newcomer: "In Praise of the Lull"--may you be blessed with many lulls and make room for many lulls in your life.
We invite you to join us as we commit ourselves to working tirelessly to end systemic and structural racism in our society, in the church, in healthcare, in the workplace--wherever it shows up so that everyone may come to have more abundant life. May this meditation nourish our contemplative-active hearts and sustain all of us in action.
