A Message from the Margins will be a call to listen more deeply into the voices, stories, and truths that often go unheard. In this message, we’ll explore the spiritual and social realities of “the margins”, those spaces where people are pushed, silenced, or overlooked. We will consider who draws these margins, and why do some stay there generation after generation? Those who control the margins often control the narrative. This is a message about reclaiming voice, restoring dignity, and realizing that justice doesn’t flow from the center, but from the edge.
