The tsunami of change we are experiencing, from the global pandemic, the climate emergency, a racial justice reckoning, societal polarization and a host of factors that are causing institutions, like churches, to deconstruct and reorient, grabbing onto what is familiar and safe is not going to help. It is going to add more fear not less, it is going to add more stress not less.  

What we need at this time is perspective, community and courage. Then, rather than putting our heads in the sand, we might become agents of change.
