We often tell stories of resistance that center singular heroes. But lasting change is almost always made by communities, imperfect, interdependent, and persistent.
On World Religion Day and the weekend honoring Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., this service resists the temptation to sanitize King’s legacy or reduce justice work to individual bravery. Instead, we honor the collective labor, shared risk, and moral imagination required to build beloved community across difference

On Wednesday, January 21, we’ll hold a Taizé-style meditative service, an evening of simple singing, readings, silence, and candlelight, inspired by the contemplative tradition of the Taizé community. This service isn’t about learning something new or solving anything. It’s about resting the nervous system, sharing quiet, and remembering that we don’t carry life, or resistance, alone.

Urgency tells us there is no time to rest. Despair tells us joy is frivolous. But both are powerful tools of harm.
This service explores resistance as the protection of what keeps us human: rest, joy, tenderness, and attention to our own limits. Drawing from spiritual traditions that insist we are more than what we produce or endure, we reflect on how exhaustion dulls our moral clarity—and how care restores it.
