Today, Rev. Wendy Craig Purcell's theme, part of a series on our spiritual quest for meaning, focuses on the courage to be and act. Courage is defined as the ability to face fear and pain, seen in various forms from physical bravery to moral and everyday courage. It involves taking deliberate actions for moral ends, shaping our communities and staying true to our values. Personal and historical examples, like Ruby Bridges' integration of a school, illustrate how faith and courage are intertwined, reminding us that courage is essential and attainable in everyday life.
