This morning, Rev. Nancy TannerThies continued our month of reflections on Integrity. A life of integrity, she said, is not finished when we achieve our goals and build ourselves up. We must go beyond this, put our tools to new uses, and risk the selves we've built. Integrity, she said, is more a matter of undoing than doing, and sometimes we need a crisis to strip us of everything we thought we were, down to what is truly essential. What we find then can be surprising, but strangely familiar. Having learned what we can do, we can discover what we can't not do. Having found our place to stand and our lever, we can discover our role in moving the world.
On the eve of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Rev. Nancy also reminded us of this man of integrity, who called the United States toward the integrity of keeping its promises of freedom and equality.
