Amplifying Hope | Week 4

Dear Friends,

“Life shrinks or expands proportional to one’s courage.” ~Anais Nin

Whose courage inspires you? When have you been most brave?

 

“Women Who Walked on Water” is a musical tribute to heroes who showed us the way during trying times.

Courage is an inner resolution to go forward despite obstacles. Cowardice is submissive surrender to circumstances. Courage breeds creativity; Cowardice represses fear and is mastered by it. Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when we must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.” ~Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

World Central Kitchen is the first to frontlines, providing meals, in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. 

 

An inspiring, courageous appeal for mercy from Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.
