Love that Frees January 14, 2024, at 10:00 a.m.Onlineand in-person Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson
We continue our month on liberating love, and recommit to Dr. King’s vision of Beloved Community, by reflecting on the power of Love to set us free, both collectively and individually. How might love ground our work to abolish systems of control and dehumanization, and unleash our full humanity and flourishing?
