Preaching, Praying the 2024 Election with Equity in Mind

'We cannot embody an anti-racist and justice-based manner of engaging the 2024 U.S. election unless we are ready to face some challenging realities about history and ourselves.' - Rev. Anna Kendig-Flores

In planning justice- and community-focused liturgies, Rev. Anna Flores-Kendig provides important guidance on incorporating language and/or themes of:

  • Hope
  • Love
  • Peace / Unity
  • Anger
  • Despair
  • Grief
  • Courage
  • Justice

Also included in this succinct but deeply informative offering:

  • helpful understandings around 'spiritual bypassing' and the trauma responses of 'fight, flight, freeze, and fawn';
  • key Scripture passages for preaching and praying;
  • Liturgy Resources - some free to download - from diverse voices.
