‘Love God; And Love Each Other.’ – Jesus |
|
Thank you for joining us online and connecting with us.
God’s dream for the world is that we live in just peace and tender harmony, fostering a global community in which each members’ rights and responsibilities are affirmed and fulfilled. This community is marked by ‘love,’ in thought, word, and deed. For Christians, there’s nothing esoteric about this ‘love’ – it is visible, tangible, measureable – which means, for the Church, it’s also something we can, and do, practice together.

Statement on Supreme Court Dobbs Decision by Presiding Bishop Michael Curry
Episcopal Church Office of Public Affairs
Presiding Bishop Michael Curry writes: Today [June 24] the Supreme Court released its decision in the case of Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization. The court has overturned the constitutional right to abortion that was recognized in the seminal 1973 case Roe v. Wade.
"While I, like many, anticipated this decision, I am deeply grieved by it," Curry said in his written statement. "We as a church have tried carefully to be responsive both to the moral value of women having the right to determine their healthcare choices as well as the moral value of all life. Today's decision institutionalizes inequality because women with access to resources will be able to exercise their moral judgment in ways that women without the same resources will not."

Godly Play - Recommending the Wondering Together Project
The Wondering Together Project invites families to a simple daily ritual of checking in with each other using the same five questions in the same order each time. I hope you'll try it. The questions and process will be familiar if you have participated in Godly Play or the Ignatian practice of examen. The project began as a doctoral research project by Sally D. Thomas at Eden Theological Seminary. The Wondering Together Project website provides simple instructions in written or video form, and offers the five questions in a printable design. It also allows you to read the research paper or contribute to ongoing research.

Thanksgivings
For peace and the common good in our country and throughout the world.
From the Book of Common Prayer, For our country,
Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage: We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favor and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
