Advocacy Training Day 2019

IMG-9023

The Advocacy Training Weekend, held this year on April 5 through 8 in Washington, DC, consists of three parts. A training day for Presbyterians by the Compassion, Peace, and Justice Ministry Area.  Ecumenical Advocacy Days. And visits to elected representatives to advocate for justice. This year’s advocacy focused on protecting voting rights and working for peace in fragile countries. The weekend is a wonderful time for networking with old colleagues and meeting new friends.

This year had the added treat that my daughter-in-law, Essie Koenig-Reinke, attended.

It’s April again

Every April, three movies appear on the viewing list:

Sometimes in April

Beyond the Gates (Shooting Dogs)

Hotel Rwanda

It is a time to remember the genocide in Rwanda; to realize that my knowledge of the horror is extremely limited; and to ponder the work that is needed today.

Exercise update

After a trip to Ecumenical Advocacy Days and a cold, playlists for exercise will begin appearing soon. Perhaps even tonight. I pass that along in case anyone was worried.

Sacred

“You are on sacred land.”

One friend said that to another friend who is at Ghost Ranch.

“You are on sacred land.”

I have said that to friends who are at Ghost Ranch.

“We are on sacred land.”

I have said that when I have been at Ghost Ranch.

All those statements are true. And so is this one:

“All land is sacred.”

Every place.

All called good.

Every acre.

All entrusted to our care.

Every bit.

All land is sacred.

All ground holy,
