Humans have long used music to protest and resist what is wrong. This summer service traces the living tradition of protest songs – born at the edges of the possible. What makes a song a protest? What happens when a movement claims a melody? How do these songs continue to call us – personally and collectively – toward a more just world?

We’ll sing, reflect, and perhaps even co-create our own song of resistance.

The universe is forever
indifferent to our sorrow

and this is why we
make music of it.
~ William Taylor Jr.
