Verse of the day
This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.
Ezekiel 37:5 (NIV)
Voice of the day
We breathe together in ways seen and unseen. And though that makes us vulnerable, it also gives us common life. Without our God-given life-spirit, holy breath filling both our lungs and our souls, we are dry bones or zombies.
Prayer of the day
God, remind us of the common life we share, and the common breath that should support all. All of this may be the work of generations. But like all projects, it has to begin before it can be accomplished. Even as we mourn the dead and live in the tense uncertainty of rapid change, give us visions of life where flourishing is possible and present.

M-1 vocational program students and F-1 English language training program students will not be allowed to take any classes online.

The government of Israel could soon begin formally annexing a significant portion of the West Bank. As the leader of an ecumenical and nonpartisan organization focused on advocating for a just and lasting end to the conflict in Israel-Palestine, I am deeply worried annexation will entrench inequalities and abuses of Palestinian human rights.
