Faith & Formation: Mother’s Day Proclamation – Preaching Peace in a Time of War

Faith & Formation at 9:00 a.m., Sunday, May 10, 2026. Susan Russell will explore how knowing the history of Mother’s Day can equip us to meet the challenges of the moment. We will revisit the original inspiration behind Mother’s Day — the Mother’s Day Proclamation powerfully articulated by Julia Ward Howe in the aftermath of the American Civil War — and how it still speaks with urgency in 2026, calling us to resist the normalization of violence and to claim our moral agency in shaping a more compassionate world.
