Dear Friends,
We hope that you are safe and well!
Today's Meditation from Henri Nouwen is "Compassion is Being With." It is at the heart of our mission of building The Beloved Community.
We invite you to join us as we commit ourselves to working tirelessly to end systemic and structural racism in our society, in healthcare, in the workplace, in the Church--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.
