I am frustrated with the way the world is unfolding now. And, I am saddened by the recent death and loss of one of our last great icons who lived out the gospel by trying to bring about the ‘Beloved Community’ that Dietrich Bonhoeffer envisioned in his writings. Walking in the steps of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, since age 16, John Lewis served nonviolently as a civil rights activist being beaten and jailed 40 times, only later being elected to serve as a US Congressman for over 30 years. Now he is gone!
Not only that, but in the aftermath of the heinous killings of George Floyd, Elijah McCann, and so many more, and, with children, separated from parents still locked up and detained in cages, and thousands of people dying daily across our nation because of the mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic - our nation is in pain with many still out of work. And, so I am looking for a group of people who want to impact our world to make a change for the good of humankind. Are you at the point where you can no longer remain silent?
Is this you? If so, let’s talk!
