January 3, 2024 What We’re Reading (As a Congregation) in January


“Rest is a form of resistance because it disrupts and pushes back against capitalism and white supremacy,” says Tricia Hersey, founder of The Nap Ministry and author of “Rest is Resistance: A Manifesto.”

Dumbarton’s  January 2024 worship series will be based on Tricia Hersey’s book, and Rev. Rachel invites the entire congregation (and anyone reading this!) to participate in a congregational read of Hersey’s manifesto.

Check out a copy from your local public library; buy one from a local bookstore; or borrow a copy from a friend. Just start reading it–or listen to the audio version! Then connect with someone in the congregation to discuss.

Start your new year guided by Hersey’s profound insights around rest and resistance.
