    Community and Connection

    Based on the given definitions, community encompasses proximity, commonality, shared interests or purpose, and interaction. Participation in community is often by choice.

    Religious Schizophrenia

    Note: This title is not meant to make light of mental illness. A secondary nonmedical definition is used to highlight the concept of contradictory or antagonistic qualities or attitudes. Do we really believe what we say? What happens when stated beliefs don't align with actions? I encourage you to consider what you believe (or not) and your expressions of those beliefs. Questions for Consideration  How do you feel about other people? Truly? Do you like to help others? Do you want people to have access to food, shelter, education, medicine, and good paying jobs? Do you want that for everybody or just the people like you? Do you make choices that impede or prevent access to folks? Why or why not? Do you subscribe to a religion or moral code? If you do, how do you live it out? If you don't, why isn't it important to you? Can a nation profess a religion when the founding documents say otherwise?  Can a nation profess a religion when leaders are making decisions that don’t match declarations? ⁠Matthew 25⁠⁠ An Nisa Ayat 36⁠⁠Metta

    Black History Month 2025

    Storytelling is beautiful and important. Learning the histories of our elders and ancestors, gaining insight on luminaries, and making history of our own, Black History is imperative. Keeping stories alive through oral tradition connects us to generations from thousands of years ago and will sustain us for thousands of years to come.
