While human greatness puts distance between people, preaches the Rev. Jorge Ortiz, greatness in God’s eyes is something entirely different: It’s not about power but love.
We live with “intense emotions swirling around and inside us,” preaches the Rev. Kristin Kaulbach Miles, namely anger and grief. On their own, our emotions are not good or bad; It’s how we harness them that matters. When we process our feelings and channel them into action, we’re doing the work of repair. With God’s help we become part of healing the world.
What are we hungry for when we can’t stop wanting? The desire to be filled and fulfilled is in all of us, preaches the Rev. Yein Kim, and it’s not by accident: Restlessness drives us toward others.
The ordination of women in The Episcopal Church, preaches the Rev. Elizabeth Blunt on the commemoration of the first women priests, says something important about who we strive to be: a new kind of community that becomes more like God’s kingdom when we seek unity in diversity.
