We Are Pilgrims

Religion, Race, and Politics Complicate Building Community in Seattle
Picture
The people preparing to gather for the 16th Annual Seattle Multifaith Summit on August 25, 2018 are a peculiar lot — and we mean that in the kindest, most good-humored way.

The organizers  think of ourselves as pilgrims — traveling with purpose, fueled by devotion.

[We also think of ourselves as neighbors.]

Frankly, we don’t all agree on the exact nature of pilgrimage. We don’t necessarily agree about the ultimate destination … or the route … or the provisions for the journey … or what, or who, we’ll find when we arrive. To those who say, "Total alignment or no deal," we say, "Don’t hold your breath."

We do agree about this, at a minimum: What we would not have done to us, we will not do to another pilgrim. 

So, when people say, “Religion, Race, and Politics Complicate Building Community in Seattle,” we say, "Sure, but not always … not inevitably … not forever…."

We refuse to treat another pilgrim with contempt. We won’t intentionally cause another pilgrim to stumble and fall. We don’t cheat another pilgrim, and we won’t lie to - or about - another pilgrim. If we have water or bread, we will not see another pilgrim go hungry or thirsty. 

If you’re that sort of pilgrim — or wish to be — we would be honored to have you join us for the 16th Annual Seattle Multifaith Summit | August 25 | Queen Anne United Methodist Church
