In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz looks at the courage of prophetic voices, inspired by Jeremiah’s scroll being destroyed by King Jehoiakim and rewritten in defiance. She draws a parallel to our own time, lifting up the quiet but powerful witness of librarians standing against book bans and censorship that target stories about LGBTQ+ lives, race, and justice. Like Jeremiah and his scribe Baruch, they persist in speaking truth and protecting the right to read — often at personal risk. Mother Liz invites us to honor their courage and consider how we too might stand for integrity and our most vulnerable neighbors.
