"History is not History"
Sunday, January 16, 10:50 am, Worship Service Livestream
On this Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend when we could focus on the history of the Civil Rights Movement, let's focus on the present realities. From the old deed to an old house to a new staff member's request for a simple lanyard, to modern civil rights leaders asking we celebrate MLK Day only one way this year, what does our bending of the moral arc of our nation today say about where history is not history, but right in front of us.

"'God' is not God's name"
Sunday, January 9, 10:50 am, Worship Service Livestream
As a theist, a liberal theist, in a pluralistic religious movement, and a congregation with a significant humanist/atheist/non-theist members, I don't talk much about God. Today, I will, and what that word, that-which-it-points-toward, means for me, and has for other progressive theists too. And whether it is useful to us, even those of us, who don't think we are theists.

Epiphany is the moment we knew our lives would be the same. In a thousand huge and miniscule ways, we experienced epiphanyΒ all throughout 2021. Now we are in 2022, knowing differently. What did we realize and when? What might we know next?
