Yesterday, I began to create a list of congregations that I could ask to participate in Labor in the Pulpits/ on the Bimah/ in the Minbar. Today I finished that list (for now). As I took glimpses of the websites I began to feel more passionate for the work I will be doing this summer. That is because as I looked at the websites I didn't just see on more Presbyterian Church or United Church of Christ instead I saw Shadow Rock Church and St. Mark's and many others. Each church is unique and they each have certain themes that they value. One theme that I saw throughout the websites was Human Dignity.
This is exactly what we need in our society. We need people to recognize the dignity of all creatures. Not just humans but also plants, animal, and even abstract things such as ideas. When we have respect for others, their belongings and their thoughts as well as the things God has created and also the things he/she has given us we are much more lively to live with compassion.
I hope to come to a better understanding of each church's mission and in the meantime come to better understand what the "mission" of my life is.
Love and Peace:
Me
