THEME
The 2022 NEXT Church National Gathering is an invitation to rest, restore, and explore stories that need to be told – about why we rest, why we resist rest, and why some [of us] cannot rest.
You are invited to notice whose bodies are granted rest and whose bodies are harassed into rarely experiencing a moment of it. People of color, whose bodies are at risk when just walking down the street. People with disabilities, whose bodies are ignored and dismissed for expressing humanity differently. People who are queer and transgender, whose bodies are rejected for showing the breadth of God’s creation. People who are indigenous to this land, whose bodies are moved and removed simply for existing in the space they call home. People who are immigrants, whose bodies are called alien for daring to dream of a better world. Read More…
