Our first season of Rev'ing Up: Answering the Call of Liberal-Religious Leadership is coming to a close! Join us for our live event on CCNY YouTube (youtube.com/c/ccnyuu) at 7pm Eastern on Thursday, May 27 and bring your thoughts and questions.
On today's show, Carrie and Meagan continue their discussion about intern ministership during the COVID-19 pandemic. This week, we focus on self-care and the ongoing question of how to make ministry sustainable for the people who pursue it.
The concept of self care originates in the work of radical poet and activist Audre Lorde. If you'd like to investigate the concept outside of a consumerist framework, the Audre Lorde Project provides resources to do so: https://alp.org/breaking-isolation-self-care-and-community-care-tools-our-people
This episode also references the book Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Learn more or pick up a copy: https://milkweed.org/book/braiding-sweetgrass.
