He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
—Micah 6:8

Greetings in the name of Christ,

In December we began a process of discernment asking, “What does God require of us?” in this time of COVID-19 and beyond. Hundreds of people from around the Communion joined the core group of discernment participants through our livestreams on Facebook and YouTube.

Participants were invited in to the discernment process, heard stories of how members are addressing the injustices revealed by the pandemic, and were introduced to a working paper, “What Does God Require from Us: Discerning, Confessing, and Witnessing in the Time of Covid-19 and Beyond.”

The process will continue with a second Communion-wide session on Wednesday, 27 January, beginning at 15:00 (Central European Time). Linked to the church calendar, this Advent/Epiphany section of the process will focus on discernment.

The working paper will be centerpiece of this session, with presentations from its drafting team, including Allan Boesak.

You are invited to join in this session through a livestream on the WCRC YouTube Channel or Facebook page, participating through the commentary functions of either, which will be taken into the discernment process. The session will be available in English, French, and Spanish.

As this process continues in the coming year, we will keep you informed. You may also find more information on our website, at wcrc.ch/require.
Blessings,
