TWIR 9.10.17 The Persistence of Our Resistance

Blyth Barnow reflects on Matthew 18: 15-20 and her experience of being in her Ohio hometown when the Charlottesville protests happened, and the importance of being persistent in our resistance. "We have many strategies at our disposal. If one doesn’t work, try another. And then another. In continuing to try we build new muscles, we learn, we grow. Gentle persistence, a persistence rooted in holy love, in healing, and not only in productivity, brings new strength, insight, and determination. So that when we return to the beginning, we are able to yield new results. These days requires the persistence of our resistance." The call to action is a beautiful spiritual practice to go deeper into the white supremacy that lives in our own lives.
