The original sermon of Metz's was published in part in the Catawba Synod Argus -- the last third was unpublished, until we dug it out of the PCUS Division of Negro Work collection: digital.history.pcusa.org/islandora/ob...

We have been using Kathy's book for our Lenten study, and it is truly enlightening! She is an inspirational thinker and someone worth following. @kathyescobar.bsky.social

God, help us more boldly create a more equitable future, catalyzed by collaborative power, collective power, healthy power. May we stay open, awake, willing to practice new things that change old ways. Keep challenging us to disrupt power in ways that lead to life and liberation for all of us, and courage to turn over tables that need turning. Amen. -- From Turning Over Tables by Kathy Escobar, a Lenten journey.

We continue our study of Kathy Escobar's book Turning Over Tables. This week's topic is "Cultivate."

The seeds of collaborative power need to be planted and nurtured so that they can grow and spread in our communities. Are we ready?

We need to model working together with others, listening to the wisdom found on the margins, and seeing the world as a network of webs for connection instead of ladders to be climbed.

One way is by trying to be a place where all people can grow and thrive. We need to cultivate good soil in our communities and organizations to increase the likelihood of seeds taking root.

Throughout Lent we have been using @kathyescobar.bsky.social's book "Turning Over Tables: A Lenten Call for Disrupting Power" as a source for discussions and topics for sermons. This Sunday the theme is CULTIVATE. How do we cultivate the "good soil" necessary for deep roots and healthy growth?
