Last Sunday, Joshua explored the DISRUPTIVE ministry of Jesus through the lens of castes...how in society divisions, hierarchies & power structures are maintained around the world. We know that, as Christians, we are called to be followers of this disruptive God - we are called to question caste. We are called to consider how caste is reflected in our own lives and help co-create a caste-free community. As we prepare for Lent, let us reflect on how we can be individual disrupters, supporting the marginalized and those without power. Here is Pastor Joshua: https://lnkd.in/gQ-buBC4

As we mark the 23rd anniversary of 9/11. I can’t help but reflect on the importance of closure within a community. Individual grief and freedom to express one’s shared memories are vital, but when we come together to recognize and honor those sacrifices, it stirs something sacred and profound within me. The 9/11 memorial is very powerful in its simplicity, it ignites passion and many remembrances of eye witness accounts of that dreadful day and acts of terror. There are many symbols of those who sacrificed everything to protect and serve their fellow human beings. The place itself has evolved since its opening in 2011; reflecting the diverse experiences of all that gave some, and some that gave all. When you look at the pieces of history you see they were created by people who survived that horrible event. They belong to the families and communities of service men and women who make up the community and fabric of our nation. The pieces of history represent the essence of our freedom to tell a story of diverse experiences, survival, personalities, and beliefs—an expression of both differences and unity. Our pledge to the flag flown over this great place emphasizes “indivisible” and “justice for all.” Today, many debate the phrase "In God We Trust," yet for the early colonists, faith was a unifying force against tyranny. In the aftermath of 9/11, we witnessed a surge of unity, with city dwellers and rural folks alike displaying their American flags. Demonstrating unity of the many lives changed from the events to one unified nation, which is something we often overlook. In the video, you’ll see strangers from all parts of the globe coming to pay respects and remember those who shall not be forgotten and hear the stories of that fateful day in history September 11, 2001. We have the freedom to choose love over hate, and that’s what inspires us to learn and grow as a nation united and indivisible with many voices, one spirit. #education #thankyou #remember
