thanks to Naomi

Naomi King wrote the invocation from which I took the name for this blog.
Here is part of it:

We are the "Yes!" Church,
A Church that’s been saying "Yes!" since the Enlightenment,
"Yes!" to the difficult freedom road,
"Yes!" to hope in the midst of despair,
"Yes!" to loving no matter what,
"Yes!" to salvation now
"Yes!" to the hard labor to make that salvation real, here and now...
