Where is Your Brother?

October 05, 2026

By Tracy Abler, Justice Coordinator

“Then the Lord said to Cain, ‘Where is your brother Abel?’ He said, ‘I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?’” - Genesis 4:9

In her September 25, 2026, post on Piloting Faith, Rev. Rev. Cameron Trimble shared a thoughtful meditation inviting us to consider (1) Who has become difficult for you to see as an individual human being because you primarily encounter them as part of a political, social, or religious category?, (2) What happens to our moral responsibility when the suffering of another person becomes hidden from our view?, and (3) What might it mean for you to be another person’s “keeper” without controlling them, rescuing them, or assuming responsibility that belongs to them?
