We recently had a series of one to one's within the community leading up to our May 27th co-creation meeting in which we solidified a plan for the next few months and called for new members to join the leadership council. The New leadership council will meet this Saturday to discuss roles and responsibilities but this is the game plan for Spirit of Truth as a whole for the next few months.
The PLAN
A) Pride Celebration
This year's Pride celebration will have an up and coming faith and activism community represented in full force handing out bumper stickers, buttons, "How to talk about marriage equality and faith" lit, and maybe even some face-painting.
Look for us June 23-24 at Loring Park. We'll be in the red and white t shirts with the big banner that says SPIRIT OF TRUTH!
After 40 years of celebrating, it seems weird that we have to be fighting for equal rights still.
B) Prayer Vigil Actions in July
We will be having 3 public prayer vigil/actions in July on consecutive weeks, where people can pray for our state, for those who are being discriminated against, and for the hearts of those who fear/hate to be opened up to love.
More details soon, but hopefully we can get some crowds to show that people of faith can use their faith for justice.
C) Community building activities
Finally we kick started it off tonight with a Spirit of Truth Art Night! but other events will soon follow in the line of creating space for people to enjoy themselves, get to know one another and renew their spirit. Spirit of Truth was created with the vision that those who are doing the good work in the world could be spiritually re-energized and as part of that you need to feed the spirit with things like art, music, conversation, yoga and more. Look for updates because we are hoping to have some an event or two every month.
