Our series, "We the People: Healing the Heart of Democracy," concludes this morning at 11:00am with an exploration of the fifth habit of the heart: Strengthening our capacity to create community. Parker Palmer powerfully names how "Without a community, it is nearly impossible to achieve voice: it takes a village to raise a Rosa Parks." He continues, "Without a community, it is nearly impossible to exercise the 'power of one' in a manner that multiples" from one person's actions to a movement of social change. Indeed, extraordinary things can happen when we have two or three people walking with us and speaking courage into our words and actions.
