Red and Blue Make Purple: Kindness

Our world seems to be consumed with division–often typified in the colors red and blue. Rather than stay in our monochromatic silos, the Golden Rule in scripture challenges us to engage in conversation and seek to create whatever common good we can with our relatives, friends, and neighbors who we might consider to be on the “other side” politically and ideologically. The “purple space” is where we cultivate kindness, compassion, humility, respect, and love for one another and for the good of all the world, no matter what. We kick off our Do Unto Others worship series and Campaign for Kindness with the words of Jesus in Luke 6 and the virtue of kindness.
