Rev. Lori on Turning Compassion Into Action

“Action. Political action. Cultural action, Community action.  Action.  I think about that word a lot lately.  I am constantly wondering what my part is in the world right now. I am compassionate towards most. I am an advocate for so many.  And yet I wonder what is effective for me to participate in.  Where will my limited energy even make a difference.  I do believe a well of compassion must overflow to satisfy need or suffering.  Whatever that means. I am confessing that it all has felt disheartening to me, so much so that I have had to step away from news feeds and social media as much as possible.”
