Will You Join the Dance? - January 4, 2015
on January 7th, 2015
“There is only the dance.” Where are you in this dance of life? How are you dancing? At this season when we look backwards at the year just finished and forward at the year to come, I invite you to play with this metaphor of the dance. How did you dance in 2014? Were there invitations you turned down? Entrances you missed? Places you stumbled? Hands you could have grasped, but didn’t? To ... Read More

The Miracle Is Now - Christmas Eve 2014
on January 7th, 2015
One hundred years ago tonight a miracle happened. On the Western front, in the first year of World War I, up and down the lines the soldiers declared peace. Not just truce, but peace. For a truce is just a cease to fighting. Peace happens when people reach across the divide and see the other as not so other after all. On that night and for the next day, and in some cases for days, weeks, even... Read More

Home for Christmas? - December 7, 2014
on December 12th, 2014

For is any of us r... Read More

The Pursuit of Happiness - Nov. 23, 2014
on November 23rd, 2014
If happiness equals property, then Thanksgiving celebrates what we own. It is an inward looking holiday – my family celebrates our successes; your family celebrates yours. But if happiness means the choices we have made, the wholeness of our lives, then Thanksgiving moves from being about accomplishment to about connection. To read the whole sermon, click here:...

Are We Transcendentalists? - Nov. 16, 2014
on November 22nd, 2014
When God comes to you through the word of centuries past, you see the world around you with dispassionate eyes. But when God comes to you not just through words, but rocks, sunsets, and rainstorms; ants, gulls, and foxes, the world is charged with new meaning and beauty. Read the whole sermon here:...

Hats, Cats, and Cauldrons - A Sermon for Halloween
on October 29th, 2014
We may not blame misfortune on witches any more or even, with changing gender norms, focus our fears on women, but we do still look for answers to the question “why?” when bad things happen, and we still may try to blame others. To read the whole sermon, click here:... Read More
