WATER Meets the Moment

November 6, 2024

The Women’s Alliance for Theology, Ethics, and Ritual (WATER) joins a worried world in contemplating the global impact of the U.S. Presidential Election. Those who are poor and marginalized, women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ people, immigrants, and Earth itself have every reason to tremble.

We seek to live not in fear, but in committed hope. WATER persists for justice with passion.

We are grateful for the many expressions of support and solidarity shared with the Alliance. We join our energies in collaborative efforts to make love, equity, inclusion, and non-violence the hallmarks of a wonderful world.

To that end, we offer this music to soothe troubled souls today. Then tomorrow, we rise together strengthened for and committed to the challenges ahead.

“Can we be like drops of water falling on the stone
Splashing, breaking, dispersing in air
Weaker than the stone by far but be aware
That as time goes by the rock will wear away
And the water comes again”

“Let justice roll down like water.”
Thank you for being part of WATER.
