An appealing progressive group called Envision a New America is asking all of us to join their members for 10 minutes every Sunday, at any time of day, to pray and envision a new America. The idea is to imagine the country at peace, free, getting clean, meeting every citizen’s needs. Here are “envisioning” instructions from the group’s website:

From wherever you are sitting:

1. See yourself connected with millions of Americans and world citizens who are participating in Envision a New America

2. Imagine Lady Liberty–the Statue of Liberty which embodies the original ideals of freedom, liberty, tolerance, and compassion upon which America was founded–and tell her your vision in practical detail of what a New America looks like and means to you.

3. From your heart, send your flame to Lady Liberty’s torch and imagine that the fire, which has nearly been extinguished there, bursts forth with renewed radiance, illuminating the darkness in the land of today’s America and also connecting the New America to the inner light of all countries of the world.

You can do this envisioning exercise in your imagination any time of day, any day, anywhere! But they ask that, at the minimum, you join with everyone for 10 minutes every Sunday.
