Welcome to Living the Way of Love at Home series, being community in the midst of stay-at-home orders. In this episode, Anny Stevens-Gleason recalls a visit to the land of the Lakota people to participate in a Taizé pilgrimage of trust. Through the songs of Taizé at Pineridge and the people she met there, she experienced a feeling of trust and reconciliation. It made her realize we need to faithfully and with persistence pursue each one, trust and reconciliation, daily.

Anny says, "I do not have the answers, but the practice of Go is something I can do. Jesus sends us beyond our circles and comfort to witness to the love, justice, and truth of God with our lips and with our lives. We Go to listen with humility and to join God with healing a hurting world. We Go to become Beloved Community, a people reconciled in love with God and one another. Cross boundaries, listen deeply, and live like Jesus."

Welcome to Living the Way of Love at Home series, being community in the midst of stay-at-home orders. In this episode, Anny Stevens-Gleason explores the practice of BLESS. "We can give of our time to others, we can serve the church, we can serve others through mission, we can take on ministry, any number of things. But when we think about it, I think what makes it hard is recognizing that we are a blessing, not because we bless others, not for others to bless us but by who we are right now. We are a blessing solely by being."

Welcome to Living the Way of Love at Home series, being community in the midst of stay-at-home orders. In this episode, Anny Stevens-Gleason shares how with relatives far away, she has lived with the understanding that those you love aren't always near. Knowing that, she and her family cherish the times they are together and use technology the rest of the time to stay connected. This type of connection doesn't change their love for each other, and it doesn't change their relationship. Which reminded her that worship is only a means to an end. It is meant to create and nourish our relationships. Our relationships with God and others. So, how do we continue that nourishment when we can't be together?
