it IS a new dawn...
I love me some Nina Simone - and this is one of my favorites. Tomorrow, for those in the Ecumenical Christian tradition , is the Feast of the Epiphany. It is not coincidental to me, therefore, that on Saturday, January 7, 2017 we are hosting the Four Freedoms March and Rally. Christians, Jews, Muslims, nones, atheists, Wiccans, labor, business, arts groups and everyone in-between are invited - and have responded - to the call to express our deepest values in public. It is not a coincidence either that the event starts at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church and concludes at Pittsfield's first faith community: First Church of Christ on Park Square.
Compassion shared in public is called justice. Prayer shared in public is called solidarity. Join us if you can.
