✨The quest to “make America great again” is confounding with the accompanying roll back on rights which are being taken with the stroke of a pen, the complicity of the Supreme Court and the Congress. The attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion programs that promote and highlight the achievements of people of color and the historically marginalized have resulted in changes on university campuses and in schools.

✨ The return to what was, does not represent the teachings and ministry of Jesus, who fed the hungry and advocated for the poor, a ministry that was against the Empire of his day and the religious zealots who were unconcerned with the needs of the people and content in ensuring their place and commitment to the cruelty of the day.

-Rev. Dr. Karen Georgia A. Thompson
General Minister & President/CEO, UCC

"Mismatched," our devotional for today:

Some yokes connect us; some break us. Some relationships, habits, and systems heal; others ask us to call cruelty practical, silence holy, greed responsible, and domination peace.
