Transcending Boundaries as People of Faith
God’s love, if we believe it, is unlimited and crosses every human-made boundary.
Speak Love, Not War
Why is it that our modern church culture identifies faith with the language of pain, aggression, and domination more so than with nurturing peace and equality?
Liturgy for Flag Removers
May we not litter our sacred spaces with the flags that we do not (ought not) worship. Christ, have mercy on our American dreams.
