Speaker: Rev. Dr. Terasa Cooley

A Personal Reckoning

We’ll be talking a lot about what it means for the congregation to actively be an anti-racist church.  I will talk about where my journey toward anti-racism has taken me. The worship theme for October is “Heritage”.

Collaborative Leadership

Is leadership a noun or a verb?  We think of certain people as ‘natural’ leaders, but that concept can get in the way of giving everyone a chance to provide leadership in certain situations. The worship theme for October is “Heritage”.

The Blessings of Conflict

Conflict is often thought of as something to avoid or that will cause rupture, but what if we thought about it in terms of what it has to teach us, about ourselves and about others? The worship theme for October is “Heritage”.

Religious Language and its Challenges

You may have noticed that I have been using more traditional religious language in the services I’ve led. I’m aware that this is challenging to some, and I’ll talk about why it’s meaningful to me, and how we can hold space for other practices as well. The worship theme for September is “Welcome”.

Is True Forgiveness Possible?

The worship theme for September is “Welcome”. True forgiveness is challenging. It is not about letting people get away with being hurtful. It cannot be given on demand. So what makes true forgiveness possible?
