“Belonging Well” - Rev. Kali Cawthorn-Freels, Guest Worship Leader

Everyone wants to belong somewhere, but what happens when we claim that something belongs to us? When belonging transforms from an act of inclusion to an act of possession, trouble strikes. It's this possessive ideology that stokes the flames of Christian Nationalism, which believes that this country belongs only to a few instead of us belonging to it. In this service, we'll explore what ancient wisdom has to teach us about the tension between belonging and possessing.

Rev. Kali is the Pastoral Resident at Williamsburg Baptist Church, where she works with youth and young adult spiritual formation and worship leadership. She is also the director of the Faithful Pride Initiative at Good Faith Media, for which she is a regular Contributing Correspondent. Kali writes about queer spirituality, the dangers of Christian Nationalism, and the value of deconstruction.
