This morning, Rev. Nancy spoke about community amid the social tensions of our times. Faced with these tensions, there is a danger of losing a sense of community or clinging anxiously to rigid communities of unchanging sameness. Rev. Nancy called on us to do better. Communities do need healthy boundaries, but we can use the emotional safety and belonging we find within them to engage in the playfulness needed for creativity and embrace the ever-evolving nature of our own and others' truths. In this way we can learn about community together, then take that knowledge beyond our circle into a world that needs community.
