This week I'd like for us to ask, "How can we grow? How have we grown?" Ideally we will reflect on this question in both the communal and personal sense. Quite often, particularly in our modern world of online discourse, we use our online space to highlight the faults and shortcomings of others. But we can also use this space as an example of MLK's church of sorts, a community in pursuit of self-growth and advancement. The "we" in "How do we grow?" should be self-determined. Regardless of who you are, wittingly or unwittingly, we are part of a community of type. Whether it is professional, political, geographic, spiritual, familial, interest-based, racial, etc; reflecting on communal growth can spur us to leadership and (possibly) action. Additionally, if you have been able to read MLK's "All Labor Has Dignity", I would like us to apply this conversation to highlighting an economically inclusive path forward for all. How must we evolve politically, economically, and morally to create a prosperous nation for all?
