One of our leaders at McKendree, Rev. Dr. Stephen Handy is quoted in a recent article from the Nashville Scene:

“We need to build communities that are beloved, which means that they’re diverse, they’re equitable, they’re intentional, they look like the kingdom of God. So as long as I’m here, we’re not going anywhere.”

This week we are invited by Rev. Dr. Handy to consider the ways we share live together. What are the ways we are catching glimpses of God's kin-dom on earth as it is in heaven?

We welcome Deaconess Sophia Agtarap as she shares a reflection about the origins of Mothers' Day as an anti-war protest and invites us to become midwives for justice through the example of Shiphrah and Puah who defied the King and resisted being accomplices to injustice and empire.
