"In story sharing, there are no observers, only participants. Have a facilitator (who is also a participant) to guide as stories of faith, race and difference can be difficult (but also healing)" Sandy Milien #eformation2020

Storysharing can be part of worship - in the space for the sermon, in coffee hour - in formation, in collaboration with other churches and other spaces. "We need to listen to each other." -Sandy Milien #Eformation2020 #Eform20

Our senior warden (senior lay leader in an Episcopal parish) opened our meeting with prayer. He slowly prayed, “I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe. Mama. Let those last words be in our heart that we may find our breath to speak for justice and love.” — an intense time of prayer.

'This Saturday, Episcopalians will join the Poor People's Assembly and Moral March on Washington in the march for real and lasting change in our communities. #Episcopal #EpiscopalJustice #PoorPeoplesCampaign 1/3
