Acting for the Common Good

In this episode, Reverend Trish and Father Jayme speak with Reverend Doug Pagitt, author, activist, executive director of Vote Common Good, and pastor of Solomon’s Porch in Minneapolis. In the days after the murder of Renee Good by ICE agents in Minneapolis, they note the ways in which the MAGA movement has torn apart families, and they emphasize the concrete actions in which we might engage to show our solidarity and support for one another. Reverend Doug reminds us: “You having a full heart that’s fully blazing, caring for people when you can—that is what you can do!” Reverend Trish warns that we do well to pace ourselves in our advocacy, heeding the 12-step HALT method: not allowing ourselves to get too hungry, angry, lonely or tired. Father Jayme praises all our friends in Minnesota, who, like Reverend Doug and Reverend Trish, are courageously acting and prophetically speaking at the current epicenter of the ICE violence in our nation. Reverend Doug concludes that ultimately we need to find ways to love one another—like the divided Corinthian community to which Paul addressed his enduring words on love (1Cor. 13)—since “in the end, we’re just walking one another home.”
