The Communion of Saints: Ella Baker

From the very beginning of The Practice, we have always
appreciated the important lessons we can learn from various
Christian traditions throughout the history of the Church. This
summer, we will spend time learning about our sisters and
brothers, some you may know and others you may not. We hope to
not only learn about them, but also to listen to what they might
have to teach us in this day and age.  


This week, Juliet Liu invited us consider the example of Ella
Baker. In her life and work, Ella might show us how our
contemplation to move us to action. She would teach us to take
seriously the dignity of all people, even the most ordinary. And
she would encourage us not to dispair but to find hope in the
people who point us toward joy.


You can find the images we used for visio divina here (The Saints
of Selma and a photo of Ella Baker.)
