A few years ago I preached at Unitarian Universalist Church of Detroit on the need to provide spaces of safety in natural settings for BIPOC persons (Black, Indigenous and People of Color).
in John 4:7-15 Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well and asked for a drink of water -- something that was against the custom of a Jew to ask such a woman. In this example, just as Jesus urged the woman to see Him as "living water", we can serve as “living water” for each other as a way to protect one another in all spaces -- including those of nature.
