That's What She Said

In February 2016 our Lead Evangelist was invited to talk about an aspect of Galileo that might be surprising to traditional church folks (like herself): how a "homeless" church can become the safest place on earth.

"Church: What Is It Good For? (HUH!)" is our worship series for the season of Eastertide. We posit that "Spiritual, But Not Religious" could be translated, "Alone, But Not Together." And alone is not the best way to be, is it? What if the abundant life Jesus named in John 10 is the promise of fullness of relationship in the beloved community?

And on this date, we ordained Nicole McRaney to Christian ministry. Such a beautiful day. Thanks, Nicole, for letting us be part of it.

When the tsunami comes, is it fight, flight, or freeze? Or maybe you just run into it headlong, damn the consequences, because some things are worth running for. Hike up your skirts. Resurrection is worth running for. Luke 24.

"Right-sizing" is one of the hardest things to do. We simultaneously think ourselves too big and too small. Like the great Anne Lamott has said, "I am a piece of shit around which the whole world revolves." Amen, sister. Simon Peter said the same exact thing in Luke 5:1-11.

For Lent, we thought about the contemporary sins of our culture, our generation. This one is a little clumsy: the compulsion to form an opinion about everything, and publish it, quickly. Perhaps the antidote is genuine curiosity about our neighbors? Mr. Rogers seems to think so.
