Hello, all... sorry the blog is extremely late and extremely short. It has been one of those days, my friends.

Today I had the opportunity to meet with Adele from Ethnic Ministries for the United Church of Canada. The folks up north want to start young adult networks for women of color particularly, so our office was a natural connection. She gave me a t-shirt, which was really cool, and I shared with her our commitment to providing space in the church for young women to lift up their voices and concerns. Because really, that's what our work is all about-- carving out safe spaces for discussion, dialogue, and empowerment. I invited someone from the United Church of Canada to our leadership event in July and to the REYWT Gathering, which will be in Louisville on November 3-6 (more about that later). Hopefully someone will, and we can begin to build bridges to our sisters up north.

Tomorrow will be more busy than today, but I will try to get something brief up for you all to think about. A question for you to consider, though-- why do we have REYWT and NNPCW? What do these groups mean to you personally? Reflect on that, and let me know if you have any great insights. Until tomorrow!

"Truly God is good to the upright, to those who are pure in heart." --Psalm 73:1
