In the Forum – Dr. Rima Vesely-Flad presents The Fire Inside: The Dharma of James Baldwin & Audre Lorde
9:00 a.m. in the Forum. We launch Pride Month at All Saints by welcoming Dr. Rima Vesely-Flad to explore her new book “The Fire Inside” — diving deeply into a dharma of liberation as lived by Baldwin and Lorde, offering timely lessons to help us each meet this moment. She explores the writers enduring legacies to show that liberation depends not only on organizing and mass movements, but the generative power of inner well-being, authenticity, art, and embodiment. Dr. Vesely-Flad’s work helps answer the question: “How do we pursue justice without burning out, turning on each other, or becoming what we oppose?” Her response is: “Through disciplined spiritual practice that transforms how we see, feel, and act? not just what we believe.” Books will be available for purchase.

Adult Choirs’ Spring Concert featuring Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem and Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy
5:00 p.m. in the Church — in-person only, there will be no live-stream. A video of the concert with beautifully mixed audio will be posted in four weeks. Two extraordinary works. One unforgettable evening. First, Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy, a dazzling, joyful showpiece featuring the same melody that eventually became the iconic “Ode to Joy” from the 9th Symphony. Our own Grace Chung takes the piano. Then, Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem (“Grant Us Peace”) — a searingly beautiful cantata written as the world was tumbling toward World War II. Its longing for peace feels as urgent today as ever. The concert moves from celebration to reflection: from pure joy to a prayer the whole world needs right now. You won’t want to miss it.
