'Bearing witness from afar' - will claim that as my role. Brilliant signs and celebratory resistance! Renewed courage, clarity, and connection! Thank you.
Cameron, I have been reading your meditations ever since Chuck Wildman, my UCC friend from my Yale Divinity School days, told me about your ministry. These last several months I have been copying many of your thoughts and putting them into an ever-increasing file, but today's I will keep out on the desk to read over and over. I spent 45 years in ministry in the Chicago area and got very connected with a lot of people and projects. When Sally and I retired to St. Louis a few years ago to be near our children and their families, we began looking for a new "community," and it has proven to be a very slow transition. But Saturday afternoon in downtown St. Louis with The Arch overarching us, I found a community of thousands -- young or old, religious or not, marching or sitting, shouting or silent, and Dakinis was there in our midst. Thanks for saying the unexpected in your meditations that opens up wide the world we need to see and embrace. Phil Blackwell
I cannot define what grace is. But I know it when I see it, and it flowed mightily on June 14. People were smiling. We were happy to be in community. You are keeping te fire alive with your words, thank you so very much.
