 Every year I approach Easter in the same way, hungry for the renewal it offers. This weekend, in my church with my community and song and story, I will be tangibly reminded of the power of Easter hope, and that will make all the difference. The Easter mystery is what helps me make sense of the whole year, my life, our work. If death is not the last word, then neither is war, or poverty, or oppression. God's promises are true, hope is real, and transformation is possible. Easter draws us into a conspiracy of hope, where we refuse to accept injustice and we collaborate to bring about the profound changes needed for abundant life for all. Easter compels us to practice resurrection. When I spend time with a Cairo's local group or sit in a learning circle with Indigenous peoples or visit with a global partner, hope is made visible to me. This Easter, I seek to renew and amplify that hope in the impossible story of the resurrected Christ. From all of us here at Cairo's Easter blessings, in the name of the one who makes all things possible.
