“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.” 

       –– James Baldwin

May you have the grace

never to sell yourself short;

grace to risk something big

for something good;

grace to remember that the

world is too dangerous

for anything but truth and

too small for anything but love.

• William Sloane Coffin benediction

History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.

A second group of six women arrived in Selma and Montgomery on July 23, and by the time we left on July 25, we were changed  -– forever. Here are brief excerpts from our reflections upon returning home. A longer version has been shared with the twenty incredible women we met during our time in Alabama.

Another goup of seven of us are headed to Selma and Montgomery for three days this July to gain invaluable insights from many generous women who have once again offered wonderful introductions and a warm welcome! Our hoped for outcomes are even more ambitious, and we plan to report on this second experience once we return. This list of podcasts, books and articles prepared us for our trip, and here is the report from our April 2019 trip.
