It is our ideal—the more excellent way. No matter how spiritually powerful or knowing or pious we are, without love we are likened to clanging cymbals, noisy gongs, and nothing at all. “The biblical ethic to love our neighbor as ourself is what’s in jeopardy among us,” warns Walter Brueggemann, an Old Testament scholar and primary teacher in BitterSweet’s Provocations series.

Join BitterSweet and local DC organizations for an inspiring new event series, Cairn.
Cairn is a seasonal invitation to journey deeper with BitterSweet and the questions we're asking: What’s ours to make, say, see, do in this season? What’s useful? What’s edifying and orienting? What is good? Come, we welcome your presence, voice, and perspective.
On January 29, 2026, join us for an evening event at Culture House DC (700 Delaware Ave SW, Washington, DC 20024) starting at 6:30 PM.
The program includes a short film screening with renowned theologian Walter Brueggemann, followed by a dynamic panel discussion with the leaders of local organizations such as We Are Family, Little Lights, and Life Pieces to Masterpieces.
Together, we’ll highlight their transformative work and the vibrant landscape of hope, healing, and beauty in Washington, DC.
