our origin
Resounding Love Center for the Arts was born in early 2020 out of a simple desire to bring the best aspects of a church-based gospel music experience to a radically inclusive, open-and-affirming global space. We recognized that those components were a sense of family, loving and inclusive messages, and gospel music in the African-American tradition.
We widened the invitation to include those who—for a variety of reasons—choose not to seek the experience in a church setting. Resounding Love is explicitly interfaith and welcomes all forms of spiritual expression. We are multiracial and strive to create authentic relationship and racial healing among our members and in the wider world. While our current incarnation is Resounding Love Interfaith Gospel Choir, the spoken word, dance, the visual arts, and other forms of expression contribute to our collective transformation and healing.
