Dear Friends:
I am sending you last week's Colleagues List now, without a Special Item. My regular Anglican Journal column "Decolonization - an Evolving Possibility" has not yet been published as planned, so I cannot provide you with a link. When it appears, I will share it with you. I send you now what I had prepared, short of my article, because I don't want the material to become dated.
This week, two of our adult studies at the church began on Zoom with a total of almost 60 participants for our book and bible groups. We were most gratified.
Wayne

If now isn’t a good time for the truth,
I don’t see when we’ll get to it.
- Nikki Giovanni

May your hands be an extension of your heart
and may you do the work of love with them.
- Aja Monet
--
Do everything possible so that liberty is victorious
over oppression, justice over injustice, love over hate.
- Ignacio Ellacuria
--
No matter how much people have been oppressed
or how much they have oppressed others, the part
of them made in God’s image is worth rescuing
and restoring.
- John M. Perkins

Now, more than ever, I understand what a difference
a teacher can make in a student’s life, and what a
difference a student can in a teacher’s life, how much
we ourselves can be the diagonal that sends an
otherwise straight line on a detour, the event that
changes fate, with nothing more than a word, a glance,
a pat on the back at the right moment, a “you can do it”
when everything seems to be going badly.
- Enrico Galiano

Try saying this silently to everyone and everything you see
for thirty days: “I wish you happiness now and whatever will
bring happiness to you in the future.” If we said it to the sky,
we would have to stop polluting; if we said it when we see
ponds and lakes and streams, we would have to stop using
them as garbage dumps and sewers; if we said it to small
children, we would have to stop abusing them;…if we said
it to people, we would have to stop stoking the fires of enmity
around us. Beauty and human warmth would take root in us
like a clear, hot June day. We would change.
- Joan Chittister
*****
CLOSING THOUGHT - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims
beneath the wheels of injustice.
We are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.
