This season I offer my deepest and most heart-felt gratitude to all of the spiritual first responders who are listening to what is being called of them and showing up with so much courage, compassion and fierce commitment towards addressing the root causes of human suffering and tending to the acute needs of those who feel the impact of the world’s (and our communities’) issues.
These words from Stephen Lewis and the rest of his letter in the Forum for Theological Exploration’s annual report brought tears to my face. I am also grateful for the opportunity to work with an organization like FTE who embodies their values and uses their privilege to create opportunities for others. Here’s to another year of ‘bold and diverse voices and imaginations sparking the change the world needs.’
