Register and join WIVEC and ESTHER at Faith 250 (https://faith250.org). Make this anniversary a time of shared civic renewal, rather than division or conflict. Reflect on spiritual and moral questions, while encouraging civic (not political) engagement. Build lasting relationships between local leaders and institutions that care about our country’s future, grounded in pride, patriotism, empathy, and unity
Break bread, discuss texts that are the cornerstone of American democratic history, and build fellowship, illustrating how an array of local institutions can form the basis of America’s positive civic health.
