We are curious and compassionate thinkers and doers. We are diverse in faith, ethnicity, history and spirituality, but aligned in our desire to make a difference for the good. We have a track record of standing on the side of love, justice, and peace. We have radical roots and a history as self-motivated spiritual people: we think for ourselves and recognize that life experience influences our beliefs more than anything.

Duncan Teague, our guest in the pulpit, recommends we savor a jelly donut while considering the wisdom of Albert Camus: "Eternity was here, while I was waiting on it." The sabbatical is similar to a school's spring break, but we often miss the fact that not only is the minister gone to explore, like Rev. Dave Dunn, but also the congregation has an …

We shouldn't HAVE to affirm our own worth, but given the silos we're forced into as citizen-consumers, sometimes it's something to consider.

In life, as imperfect people, every once and a while, we need a trusted friend to talk to us about "that thing we do."
