With all of the body shaming and bathroom wars, sometimes we need to take a moment to step back and remember that that we are who we are and we are loved.
Namaste,

Sunday, April 24, 2016: Frontier Faith and a God of Love
Prelude: Morning Prayer by Hosea Ballou Sung by Second Ireland Sacred Harp Singers
Welcome
Hosea Ballou said “Man, being not only a religious, but also a social being, requires for the promotion of his rational happiness religious institutions, which, while they give a proper direction to devotion, at the same time make a wise, and profitable improvement of his social feelings.” And so we gather here, not only to practice our religion, but to support each other.
Chalice Lighting Drawn Together – Jennifer Leota Gray
We come together every week bound not by a creed,
Or a mutual desire to please one God or many Gods
Yet we are drawn together by a belief, that how we are in the world,
Who we are together matters.
We light this chalice, together in the knowledge
That love, not fear, can change this world Continue reading

A Meditation on the Ecological Catastrophe & What to Do About It, Even if it is Too Late
In my view the critical work of religion is fostering the quest for meaning in the face of our fragile lives caught up in forces greater than any of us. This world we live in is filled with hurt and violence and every imaginable cruelty. It breaks the heart. And. This world is also so astonishingly beautiful and precious and run through with the mysteries of love and compassion, that it can take our breath away. This strange mix is what we actually encounter in the world. The work of religion is squaring that circle, finding our place in the great mess. And it is unspeakably important.
Another fine sermon from James Ishmael Ford
