How do we go deeper to show up better?
As Wisdom calls to us, we are called to change. To understand beyond our sensory perception, the use of scripture, and gatherings, and talking to each other and bringing our whole self forward into the work of God in the world is the call. It will change us. Bring our whole selves. Bring our whole selves rather than picking and choosing. I am not talking to just the Christians in this I am talking to you to go and do your work, to become more of what Wisdom is calling from us. We need to seek an order to chaos, to be humble, to use the tools that we are given to change. More

Someone is hurting our people and it’s gone on far too long and we cannot be silent anymore.
The Poor People’s campaign was in our building in 2018 and I remember this moment, when I swear it happened this way, I went downstairs to greet the folks who had showed up and it was the organizers. One of the women asked me to stay as they prayed. Of course. And she started to sing a call and response. We stood in a circle together and as we responded the doors to the parish Hall opened up and a couple of people joined us and then more and more. We stepped back and expanded the circle again and again and from the circle as we expanded finally our circle was as big as the parish hall. That is the call that is what we are called to do and to be. Ever-expanding and ever more part of the circle. More

All Lives Do Not Matter Unless Black Lives Matter

Most everything I needed to learn in this life I learned because I made a mistake. And I was in a relationship with someone who could help me; hold it up, made me look at it.
The Rev. Cannon Stephanie Spellers says “Because “God created humanity in God’s own image, in the divine image God created them…” (Gen 1:27). You spit on a child of God, you’re spitting on God. And if somebody’s spitting on God, people of faith HAVE to step up. It’s not optional. It’s not “two sides.” Step up with and for the holy One who has been kicked, shot, choked, crucified, denied. Step up because oppressive systems dim the beneficiaries’ divine spark and full humanity. For the love of God, step up.” More

Peacemaking: Talking the Talk; Walking the Walk
One hundred-four years ago, there was a man who had to ask this same question for himself. His name was Adolf von Harnack. He was a German theologian. He had been teaching for decades as a leading voice of the “liberal theology” school of thought . . . In the summer of 1914, von Harnack would have known that war was on the horizon . . . For decades, von Harnack had been talking the talk about Jesus and his teachings. Von Harnack had spread the idea that modern Christians should figure out Jesus’s core message and try to live it in the modern world. Now he had a decision to make: was he going to walk the walk of being a peacemaker, as Jesus had instructed? More

Trinity Sunday: An Experience of God
Instead of dogma, the Trinity is an experience of God that explains the divine spark in our lives, where we had a chance to wrestle with it and those who were chucked out and not given the chance. More
