Beloved Community Cafe:
Fridays at NOON.
RCNV staff and board members facilitate a weekly Zoom open invitation with community partners to explore: What is Beloved Community? In what ways do we live it now? What changes can we make together to create Beloved Community? To register, contact Peter@rcnv.org
Our Beloved Community Cafe discussion this week will be dedicated to James Lawson, an African American nonviolent action trainer, pastor, organizer, and a leading theoretician and tactician in the Nonviolent Movement for America 1953-1973.
“The forces of violence and economic deprivation and cruelty, the forces of evil, which are so well organized today in the United States, cannot prevail. They are on the wrong side of the human spirit, they are on the wrong side of history. … Let this be the day where we recommit ourselves to continue the struggle.” James Lawson
