In a world that feeds on moral outrage, we are here to cultivate moral courage
In a time that prizes picking sides, we gather to draw a wider circle
And in a culture that teaches us to get for what we give
And to ask “what’s in it for me?”
We come to practice generosity and to remember,
We are all in this together.
In the midst of life’s bitterness, we choose to sing, to give thanks,
to laugh together, and to be keepers of beauty
to offer a place of belonging for all who come,
in gladness and in pain,
to resist the push to the next moment, and the next
to slow down, to breathe more deeply, to feel a part of something greater
let us be the change we wish to see.
In a world that feeds on moral outrage…by Rev. Gretchen Haley
