From Sojourners Voice and Verse

Verse of the day
Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their toil. - Ecclesiastes 4:9

Voice of the day
Often, we simply trust that our shared mission and shared intentions will inform our interactions. But that kind of group cohesion is often illusory, because it’s based on a collective idealization of one another, rather than an effort to truly understand one another, and cultivate expectations that we can all consent to. - Kelly Hayes, “To Transform Conflict in Movements, We Must Learn How to Stay in It Together”

Prayer of the day
Lord, may we make the efforts to truly understand those we labor and work with. May we not settle for idealized unity or shallow peace.

Personal Note
We must include the relationship work in our social justice work to secure the cohesion needed for the long fights.
