Readings:

“Forged out of slavery, the black church was also a place of
protection and practicality. For many decades it was one of the few places Black people could gather for educational purposes, to arrange mutual aid groups, or to form political organizations. As a result, it has always been a target. As an independent institution operating free of white control and oversight, the Black church had inherent revolutionary potential that often made it an object of white fear and anger.”

Nikole Hannah-Jones, the 1619 Project

Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'humanity to others'. It is often described as reminding us that 'I am what I am because of who we all are'.

“Ubuntu is very difficult to render into a Western language. It speaks of the very essence of being human… you are generous, you are hospitable, you are friendly and caring and compassionate. You share what you have. It is to say, “My humanity is caught up, is inextricably bound up, in yours.” We belong in a bundle of life. We say, “A person is a person through other persons.” It is not, “I think therefore I am.” It says rather: “I am human because I belong. I participate; I share.”

Desmond Tutu, No Future Without Forgiveness

“There is no longer Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in the Spirit.”

Galatians 3:28
