Quote of the Week...
Food for Thought. . .
As we will observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day this Monday, January 17, I thought it appropriate to reflect upon his legacy. Particularly, I am drawn to his classic Letter from a Birmingham Jail. (Whether you have read it or not, it is always worth a first look or an umpteenth.). King writes the letter from jail for participating in a nonviolent demonstration against segregation. He addresses eight white clergy who issued a prior public statement calling King’s actions “unwise and untimely.” One of the famous quotes of MLK figures in this letter: Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.  With the luxury of decades of hindsight, it is easy to side with King. The question could be asked, “What would we have done?” Or, perhaps, a better question is, “What are we doing?” To read more, click here. . .

Going Deeper
An important message from Presiding Bishop of the ECUSA, Rev. Michael Curry, on the anniversary of the insurrection that took place in the Capitol on January 2,2021. Faith has a profound place in the affairs of life . . .
