What does covenant really mean in a culture of supremacy, whether we’re engaged in justice work, congregational life, or being active online? And why are spiritual practices and self care critical? This is an excerpt from episode #185 with our guests, the Rev. Ashley Horan, executive director of MUUSJA, and Nora Rasman, campaign manager at Standing on the Side of Love. .

Excerpt notes:

MUUSJA is the Minnesota Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Alliance. On May 19 & 20, 2017, they held a conference called Resistance & Resilience: Sustaining Faithful Action for Justice & Solidarity in a Hurting World, which featured local and national organizers, religious leaders, artists, musicians, and activists.
