Empathy Teaches the Truth
Today’s Topic:
Cultivating compassion in a society wrestling with fascism is tough. And yet, compassion is the doorway to understanding our entanglement with one another. Our separation is just a fear-based illusion. Empathy returns us to the truth of our interdependence and mutuality, making it a threat to authoritarians who would prefer us to remain divided and disempowered. Join us for this service where we explore how cultivating real compassion (with power analysis and boundaries) can empower us to overcome narratives of hate and division.
Worship Team:
Rev. Jennifer Nordstrom, Senior Minister
