"To know Jesus to be the way, the truth, and the life, and to steadfastly follow his steps in the way that leads to eternal life – to be people of the resurrection – is to work to make God's love tangible whenever and wherever we can.

"Coming to a faith community for the first time can be incredibly intimidating, especially if you are coming by yourself, especially if you have tried before and been wounded., especially if healing and love is what you are looking for … so much so that you are willing to risk making yourself vulnerable in hopes that you might find it…. Churches, synagogues, temples, communities that historically...

"Incluso como iglesia, vivimos con el miedo que genera el sistema de esclavos.  Como iglesia, nos hemos convertido en un proveedor de bienes y servicios religiosos ... y tememos no producir lo suficiente porque tememos que la gente se vaya y se lleve sus promesas financieras con ellos.   No es el modelo de una iglesia fiel, es un modelo de negocios que ve los bienes más elevados no como un crecimi...

"What if in every relationship in our lives, we recognized that we are bound together by sacred vows. That we would not embrace each other more if we are doing better, or richer or healthier and we would not discard each other when things got worse, or we lost everything, or became sick. What if every person we encountered, every relationship we had, we looked at the other and said "I will love an...

"Easter is meaningless without its context.

And so, before we rejoice. Before we go and tell Before we can be healed We have to pass by the angels. We have to pass by Jesus. Before we can rejoice, Before we can go and tel...

"If forgiveness truly is nothing but the empty shell that demands everything of the victim but nothing of the perpetrator. If forgiveness truly is nothing but the swallowing of the pain and the suppressing of the truth, then it is certainly worthy of discarding. And yet, if we take forgiveness away from justice, all that is left is vengeance.  And more and more, that is the choice that is set befo...

"Loving religion instead of Jesus has been one of the ways the church has denied Jesus over and over and over again as surely as Peter denied Jesus in the courtyard of the high priest as the cock crowed the third time ...  and in this time of COVID-19 we have instead chosen to re-imagine religion because of Jesus."

"The Hebrew word Hineini indicates that a person is showing up with the fullness of who they are to respond. To be spiritually present. Ayeka? Hineini! In those moments when we have missed the mark, and no longer recognize our actions as being reflections of the values that we espouse, it is time to show up. To proclaim: Hineini! Here I am. Ready to do the hard work of introspection." Sermon by Ra...

"¡La lucha es real!" era su manera de reconocer con ironía las dificultades de la vida, y, con una sonrisa, invitarlos a otros a unirse a su experiencia. Ubicando la risa en medio del sufrimiento, ella encontró una manera de hacer menos agobiantes circunstancias que eran super agobiantes. Como solía decir Fred Rodgers, "Toda experiencia humana es mencionable, y todo que es mencionable puede ser má...
