Preaching to the Choir

4/29/2019

“Never underestimate the power of a small group of people to change the world.
In fact, it is the only thing that ever has!” Margaret Mead

And do not underestimate the power of voices that rise together in song! Preaching to the Choir is commonly thought to be wasted time in trying to move a cause forward. Presumably, the Choir already gets it and energy should be focused on people who do not get it. Yet, it is the choir that is speaking (singing) up and moving & shaking us forward.

“Forgive me if I don’t have the words, maybe if I sing it, you’ll understand.”
Ella Fitzgerald
When we sing together we share a common voice, we are taking our breaths at roughly the same time, our words align, we create a collective sound together, and we sometimes harmonize. We can sing together even if we hold vastly different worldviews. Singing together does not mean that suddenly we agree on how to govern or live in this world. It means that for those moments, we are together and united in song.
