Sitting with Others’ Pain—and Learning What’s Ours to Do - A Reflection from the Minister 10/4/2026

Why is it so hard for many folx, who are not directly impacted (yet) by some of the biggest tragedies in our world, to sit with the pain others are experiencing? Does our reluctance to turn toward major crises come from a sense of powerlessness? From traumas we ourselves are carrying? Rev. Nancy Palmer Jones puzzles over this, convinced we will find our way when we bring empathy, connection, and curiosity into partnership.
