The Beloved Community is an inclusive, achievable society, in which problems and conflict can exist, but are resolved peaceably. In the Beloved Community, poverty, discrimination and violence are unacceptable and our policies, practices, and language are infused with unconditional love. Mrs. Coretta Scott King said, “The Beloved Community can be achieved through courage, determination, education, and training if enough people are willing.” As our nation continues to grapple with a global pandemic, racial injustice and political polarization, this year’s theme is a clear assignment to each of us.

Together let’s make the necessary shift… Together let’s align our values and shift our priorities… 

Together let’s create the Beloved Community.
