We will gather to do some good work together: building a faith that nourishes not just for us but also the whole world as well as finding companionship amidst challenging terrain. Sometimes that might compel us to name what we’re against. But we also never want to forget to say what we’re for: acting for justice and embodying grace, cultivating hope and proclaiming love.

We need some hope. We need more love.

Amid the fractures of the world, we’re seeking healing. We’re coming together to listen—to God and to one another. We’re ready to reimagine and to rebuild, to remember and even to resurrect a faith that is truly good news.
