Idol Talk and Conscience
D
ear Covenant family and friends,
What comes to mind when you hear the phrase "politically incorrect?" Are you cringing or feeling a little vindicated? It's become a kind of catchall phrase for anything anyone else finds offensive. Societal and linguistic changes hurtle along at warp speed, and what was somehow "acceptable" even just a few years ago is now being called out. We want to be sensitive, and at the same time, no one likes to feel reprimanded. Have we become the new Victorians in our quickness to take offense, or is there something else at work here? Are there idols we are unwittingly embracing, defending, and relying upon as we argue these points, all of us, no matter where we stand?
Join us Sunday as we ask some gentle questions in some sensitive territory.
Grace and peace,
Tracy

Tuesdays through Feb. 13, 7pm, Lounge
The 12 Steps (used in recovery programs) are powerful spiritual tools for all of us. Franciscan monk Richard Rohr uses them, as do many psychologists, spiritual directors, and people dealing with life's “unmanageability.” In five weeks, we’ll explore the 12 steps as tools for drawing closer to God, living with integrity, and becoming free from old, destructive patterns. Led by
Tracy Keenan.
