My Peace Catalyst colleague, Peter Digitale Anderson, and an organizing network of faith leaders and clergy in Minneapolis, Minnesota are extending an invitation for faith leaders and clergy from around the country to come to Minneapolis next week, on January 22nd and 23rd.
“Minneapolis finds itself at the center of a crisis that has been long in the making.
This is a crisis of our Constitution, federal overreach, militarized enforcement, and the erosion of civil liberties.
A crisis of our democracy.
A crisis of our morals.
A crisis of faith communities failing to live into a vision of Beloved Community—or, across traditions, our shared commitments to justice, dignity, compassion, right relationship, and collective care.
This is not a crisis confined to one city. It is a crisis all over the land, born of original sins: stolen land, slavery, genocide, and the ongoing violence required to sustain them.
And just before we mark MLK Day on January 19, 2026, we find ourselves standing in an echo of history—offered lessons we need not repeat and legacies of love we are called to build upon.
In the tendrils of inherited harm and collective memory, we hear calls from our past—calling us toward both peril and possibility.
That’s why we are calling on you to join us on January 22nd & 23rd.“
