“We must obey God rather than any human authority.” – Acts 5:29
Friends,
Lent and Holy Week and Easter came and went. Here we are, in Eastertide, a season of 50 days where we continue to celebrate the hope found in that glimpse of the possibility of resurrection that Easter offers, and where we face the challenge of what that means for our lives, for the everydayness that once again takes over when the celebration of the extraordinary ends and the world itself doesn’t feel any different at all. When evil remains real and tangible and visible.
Where do we go from here?
There are no perfect answers, but I find encouragement in these words from Womanist theologian and ethicist, Emilie Townes, “To combine challenge with hope is powerful… challenge and hope make it possible for us to see the world, not only as it is, but also as it can be, so that it can move us to new places and turn us into a new people.”
I also find encouragement knowing we are walking this journey of transformation together.
Glory be to God for that!
See you Sunday,
Pastor Andrea
