Along the way . . .
Reflections on spiritual and Christian life are offered in each Friday email by our Plymouth ministers. Recent topics have included anger, Independence Day and choosing to be a prophet or an evangelist as we address the climate crisis. Join us in our pilgrimage along the way here.

“We learn early the racist notion that white people have more because they are more; that people of color have less because they are less,” writes Ibram X. Kendi, director of the Antiracist Research & Policy Center at American University, in The New York Times. “. . . . To build a nation of equal opportunity for everyone, we need to dismantle this spurious legacy of our common upbringing. One of the best ways to do this is by reading books. . . . [W]e need to read books that are difficult or unorthodox, that don’t go down easily.”
