Sarah's CircleFriends are blessings that sustain our journeys. |
A strong term. My mother would have said that it was unkind to be anti-anything, but I am a child of the 60’s, and I have been an anti-war activist for decades. I am anti-hate, anti-greed, anti-discrimination, and on and on. That doesn’t mean that I just think it, it has to mean that I live it in my daily life. I have changed laws that formerly disregarded the rights of silent children. I have changed laws to preserve our silent earth. I have stood in the way of individuals mistreating LGBTQ people, disabled persons, women, minorities, and I have actively worked with our national ELCA church to include the voices of those who have not been listened to, especially when the policy is about their lives. I continue to advocate for the voiceless whenever and wherever I can. I’ve always said “love is a verb.” Without action, it is meaningless. Sometimes that means crawling into an uncomfortable space and absorbing that reality before declaring what is right. I pledge to listen, learn, love, speak and then act. --Cynthia
