Jesus’ oft-ignored command to “love our enemies” is vital and timely as we navigate the emotional, political, and spiritual terrain of these days. Far from being idealistic, this love becomes an assertive expression of for-giveness with the power to break relentless cycles of diminishment, enable us to claim our own agency, and open fresh paths to promising futures. Deeply rooted in the gospel, the work is hard, good, and full of hope. You will take with you applications for your personal relationships, the building of healthy communities, and movements of social transformation.
