October 18, 2020- Magnitude and Bond, Arif Mamdani

The poet Gwendolyn Brooks, in a poem and tribute to Paul Robeson writes “…we are each other’s harvest/ We are each other’s business/ We are each other’s magnitude and bond.” These lines reflect one way we might understand what we’re driving at at church when we talk about being a community of communities. This Sunday, Aimee Bryant, Arif Mamdani, and Lauren Wyeth weave together music, story, and prayer and in the process endeavor to lift up some ways we might enter into all this: these words from Gwendolyn Brooks, the invitation of community, and a heart’s yearning to be known and beloved.   Wisdom Story- Lauren Wyeth (:29) Hymn- Aimee K. Bryant and Franco Holder (5:08) Sermon- Arif Mamdani (6:30)
