It’s Sunday. With my family, I’m watching online services by the Unitarian Society of New Haven. I’m doing this after having watched a video of an Amish family singing and praying and protesting in Minneapolis the murder of George Floyd by a white cop.

Together, these get me to wondering if what we’re seeing is a kind of Great Awakening, a movement of religion as well as a movement of justice. (This might be, as I said Thursday, in addition to being a transition from one political regime to another.) All this depends on how long and how intensely the spirit of protest goes on.

I’ll have more to say about this later this week. For now, I invite you consider subscribing to the Editorial Board. For one day only, subscribe for the year to save 20% off the annual price, which is 20% off the monthly price. That’s 40% off! Good deal!
