 When people find out I work for Kairos, the most common question that they have is, how is Kairos doing? And the word that comes into my head most often is resilience. We're a pretty resilient group. Time flies when you're thriving. It was almost five years ago, November 30th, 2009, when we lost all of our seat of funding, half of our budget gone in one surprising phone call. There were times when we wondered if we'd make it. But now, five years later, we're still here, still engaged in faithful action for ecological justice and human rights. And for that, I am so grateful. I'm grateful to our churches who continue to express their collective public witness through Kairos. I'm grateful to the global partners who gave us solidarity in the crisis and who tell us our advocacy is even more important than our funding. And I'm grateful for the network across the country who never let go, who every day show their belief in transformative social justice with faithful action in their communities. And I'm grateful to our donors, those who contributed for years and those who gave their support when they learned about our work. I believe it is the action of the spirit that creates resilience. The spirit strengthens the bonds of connections between us, keeps our hearts burning with a passion for justice, and helps guide our feet on faithful paths. We're imperfect. We face big challenges. We sometimes need correction. We always need more discernment. But we're here together to help each other persevere in the ways of justice. It's the action of the spirit that turns a collection of people and a set of commitments into a movement for faithful justice. This Thanksgiving, I want to say thank you for all of you who have journeyed with us these past five years. And who by your presence and commitment give us confidence for the next five, fifteen, or fifty. May the Holy Spirit impel us forward to truer faith and greater justice for the sake of God's aching earth and Christ's beloved people. And may we continue to witness hope to one another every day.
