What Does Beloved Community Mean for Us?

Beloved Community calls for commitment, conflict resolution and hard work, particularly in encouraging, accepting and sharing with those who are “troublesome” for us. The challenge can be reframed in realizing that to others any one of us may be one of the “difficult” members. We are required to believe not only that others are worth our effort but also that we will be worth the effort in the eyes of others! As imperfect people engaged in imperfect efforts to build Beloved Community, we are in a battle not just against the division between us, but also the doubt within us. Our struggle may be not just believing we can create Beloved Community, but also believing we can count on it.

Susan Kaphammer shares this message drawn from resources in the Soul Matters Series.
