Radical Hope

Some folks wear many hats, Curtis Miller is one of those. Ten years ago as clergy and community organizer he approached the Coulee region's area congregations to join together and identify community needs.  

Natureman and I attended that first organizational meeting of the newly formed group called AMOS along with many others as the years passed and formed task forces... 



After a decade of dedication, Curtis Miller is moving on to work in Hospice. Sunday, the Congregational Church in La Crosse was the setting for a thank you and good bye reception for a very caring and dedicated individual. 
A large crate of goodies, popcorn and dinner certificate along with many good wishes were also part of the farewell to wish Curtis and his family all the best.

Board President Wellesley White made sure
there's popcorn wo AMOS board meetings.

Curtis Miller's departing remarks included a recap of AMOS objectives and the progress and growth of the task forces. Most importantly he spoke of 'radical hope,' a belief that one can affect change against what may seem insurmountable obstacles.  Once one becomes aware of injustice, reality can not be denied nor ignored.

Thank you Curtis Miller for helping cofound this Interfaith Social Justice organization whose work will continue to serve the needs of the community.
