Let us not rush to the language of healing, before understanding the fullness of the injury and the depth of the wound. Let us not speak of reconciliation without speaking of how we can repair the breach and how we can restore the loss.
– Litany by Dr. Yolanda Pierce, November 24, 2014 after police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO.

Guest Worship Leader: Rev. Tina Squire

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -- over and over announcing your place in the family of things.
– from “Wild Geese” by Mary Oliver

Scripture readings: Psalm 90 & Mark 10: 17-31

St. Francis and the Foolishness of God

Our response to the question of how to create a more just and peaceful word can be summed by the word "accompaniment": to deviate from other pathways for a while (and then forever), to walk with those on the margins, to be with them, to let go. Through this encounter with Christ at the margins, we can as individuals and societies, experience a profound, ongoing, Spirit-led conversion of heart, soul, and mind."
- from St.. Francis and the Foolishness of God by Stuart Taylor, et al.

Scripture reading: Matthew 11:16-30
