Today, more than ever, the world needs the strong, bright witness of inclusive, justice-seeking congregations like ours, particularly in Fort Worth, Texas. Communities of faith who will speak out for immigrants, for example, as well as advocate for reproductive justice, religious pluralism, and abolishment of the death penalty have a critically important role to play in this moment.
Like any organization, much of our financial need is mundane – music equipment, staff salaries, and lawn care for our six-acre property. We see our purpose as providing a nurturing inclusive community in as many ways as possible. Our building houses a weekly Buddhist meditation group (Cultivating Mindfulness), Trail Lake Montessori preschool, Dharma Recovery (mindfulness-based addiction support), Art & Soul School, Makom Shelanu Congregation (inclusive Jewish congregation), Unity Fort Worth and more.
It takes time, talent, and treasure to make love real here and now and to bring about meaningful change in the world. We are changing and saving lives, quite literally, here.
