Singing Resistance - Pastor Elizabeth Macaulay
My interview with Pastor Elizabeth Macaulay, for Lent 2026. She is the lead pastor of the Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church in Minneapolis.
Her church has been engaged in pastoral care, advocacy and community presence following the shocking deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and the continued heightened presence of federal ICE agents in the city.
One particular movement - ‘singing resistance’ - has sought to meet violence not with force but with communal song. And on the night Alex Pretti died, Pastor Elizabeth’s church hosted a ‘singing resistance’ event for over a thousand people, which helped the community in that moment to come together and light candles and hold a space together and sing.
In this 30-minute interview Pastor Macaulay reflects on how we can meet these challenging days with a different way of being, and shine a different light on the way we can live.
