Eco-Service (the Art of Enoughness)

The poet farmer Wendell Berry taught the ”art of enoughness” – when we slow down from our ever increasing acquisitiveness we realize that the nature that surrounds us gives us all that we need. As we celebrate our solar expansion we will dwell with this concept.

The Porous Self

The philosopher Charles Taylor talks about living a ”porous” life – open to experience and change – and living a “buffered” life – trying to be protected.  We will examine what might help us lead a porous life.

God Talk

NOTE: Summer Services Hours – ONE SERVICE AT 10AM In a few weeks the Atheist, Humanist and Skeptics group will talk about why the traditional concept of God doesn’t help them be better people. I will talk this Sunday about why I find the concept of God useful in my life.

A Personal Reckoning

NOTE: Summer Services Hours – ONE SERVICE AT 10AM I try assiduously to live my life as an anti-racist and I am far from perfect at it. I will tell some of the twists and turns in my anti-racist journey and hope you will find some of your own story reflected in mine.

In Sickness and in Health

NOTE: Summer Services Hours – ONE SERVICE AT 10AM We tend to see sickeness and health as opposites, but I think they are two ends of a long and complicated spectrum. What does that mean for us?
