Testimonies: What Has Happened to Us

“From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own. It says: Disarm, Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice. Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence vindicate possession. As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of council. Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them then solemnly take council with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace, each bearing after his own kind the sacred impress, not of Caesar, but of God.”

Sermon: The Road from Emmaus Back to Earth by Pastor Mark Harper

“For far too long, our modern culture has been on an unrelenting campaign to depict any other way of life that doesn’t rely on massive consumption and expenditure of energy as a worthless way to live, but the time has come – and Mother Earth is speaking in no uncertain terms – when that campaign needs to end, when we need to learn to sit again at the feet of our indigenous elders and invoke the spirits of our Ancestors to teach us once more how to be a blessing on the planet.” - Lily Mendoza
