“In light of the universe we’ve inherited and the gift of our lives, what kind of human beings ought we be? What kind of human beings does the God of the universe require of us?” - Rev. James Lawson

‍

The belief that each person is imbued with a spark of the divine is foundational to LA Voice’s mission. It is why we stand firm in our commitment to transforming LA County into one of equity and abundance for all.  As the late Rev. Lawson suggests, it is how we cultivate that spark, that light, that makes all the difference. 

‍

We chose the theme “This Little Light” in honor of our divine sparks, the legacies we leave behind that brighten our world in the midst of challenge and struggle. This year, we honor the legacy of one of our brightest lights, Rev. Zach Hoover, who is transitioning out of his role at LA Voice after years of leadership. We also honor our community of leaders — past, present, and future — who will no doubt carry the torch until all are bathed in light.
