Walter Brueggemann posed the challenge of Easter as deciding to be \\u201ca part of the Easter movement of civil disobedience that contradicts the empire,\\u201d to \\u201csee if life is longer than death.\\u201d Each day, we face a litany of suffering born of oppression, mirroring the crucifixion, that we must match with the determination to keep going, mirroring the resurrection. In the face of injustice, we insist on creating just, joyful, equitable communities. At Easter, we repeat these stories in order to remember the choices we make between \\u201cempire death and Easter life,\\u201d to make our hells into healing, and rise again.
