Healing Our Democracy

Rev. Peg Boyle Morgan

November 6, 2011

I doubt there is any one of us who is happy with our country’s political landscape. It is easy to feel discouraged, and cynical at the competitive paralysis in Washington D.C. It would be easy to assume that our country too will decline into oblivion, as have all the great economic and political powers. Today I’ll reflect on how we can wrestle with these thoughts and feelings in our spiritual lives.

Conspirare: To Breathe Together

Lisa Reitzes

September 25, 2011

There are many reasons that we gather on Sunday mornings, perhaps as many reasons as there are people in the Sanctuary. Whatever brings us there, what we do together in that space creates something that is different than what we can experience on our own. However diverse our spiritualities, we agree for that time to be bound to each other by the common air we breathe.

One Light, Many Windows

Rev. Peg Morgan

September 18, 2011

Today we reflect on why it is that we come together on Sunday morning when we could stay home with our own beliefs. In this very unchurched area of the country, we choose to come together, gathering in our sanctuary with its many windows, sharing the light together as we ponder the mysteries and celebrate the masterpiece that is this life. In so doing, we remind ourselves of the ways to be saved in this world, for this world…for as Thoreau said, we prefer to take things one life at a time.
