Quote of the Week. . .
Food for Thought. . .
The past few weeks have been extremely busy as we participate in a variety of meetings during the season of Lent. Podcast discussions on Sunday, prayer shawl, evening prayer, and adult forums on Tuesday, communion video reflections on Wednesday, and faith facing racism on Thursday. It’s a lot. Furthermore, these engagements are not just “busy” work. I hope and pray that these gatherings have deepened faith, a sense of wonder, an awareness of injustice, and an understanding of the interconnectedness of all things for those who participated in them. It is easy to look at the world through rose colored glasses. It is altogether quite another thing to take off the glasses and see the world for all that it possesses: beauty and horror, awe and innui, serendipity and the drumbeat of the mundane, justice and inequity. If our faith is to possess any voice or agency in the world, it must be able to address the existential tension that exists in most every moment. Our eyes need to be wide open to the reality of life, so that we can engage that life without delusion or deception. It goes without saying that the mass shootings of this past week painfully remind us of this reality.  To read more, click here. . .
