Following the service: Coffee Hour · Youth Choir Rehearsal · Drop-in Caring for Aging Parents Support Circle · Ritual of Remembrance · Social Change Ecosystem Workshop — NP & The Fierce Urgency of Now
58 years ago in 1967, the Rev. Dr. King spoke of “the fierce urgency of now” in a speech entitled “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence” at Riverside Church in New York City. What are the fierce ethical, religious urgencies of today? How can we “break silence” as individuals and as a congregation, and collectively resist inhumanity? We’ll hear some suggestions from clergy and congregations in Minnesota and reflect together.
After the service, there will be an opportunity to share in a simple ritual honoring those who have died in ICE custody; in honor of Renee Good who “literally sparkled” with kindness, any who wish to wear sequins or glitter while being extra kind are welcome to do so. There will also be a workshop until 1 pm to go deeper into the question of our personal and communal next steps.
