Sometimes we just don’t know what to say. We see something; we know it is wrong, but we say nothing. The next morning we think of several things we might have said, but the moment is gone. The perpetrators think we agree with them. The targets feel alone and abandoned. And we feel like failures as witnesses, allies, or advocates. And then there are the times when “sorry” isn’t enough. But we just don’t know what to say. Join the chorus of a very human community of goodhearted people who want to do the right thing, but sometimes just don’t know what the right thing is to say.
Cultivating Relationship asks us to explore how we nurture the complex and sometimes messy bonds that are the lifeblood of any gathered community. Religion is all about relationship as we attempt to comprehend and promote how people should relate to each other, to the larger world, and to ultimacy or the divine. We are all connected and we are committed to showing up for each other, both in times of difficulty and need and in times of joy and celebration.
