I want to tell you right up-front that I am unabashedly pro-life. I am also unashamedly pro-abortion. What I am not is unequivocally running for political office! Now, some of you might consider my reproductive platform to be oxymoronic. The fact is that many of us find ourselves in this place of...Sermon | By Cynthia Frado | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Compassion, Discernment, Sexuality, Reproductive Justice

It is 2 a.m. I am sleeping in the chaplain’s on-call room at an inner city hospital. My room hovers over the Emergency Entrance and the darkness is punctuated with sirens and lights. It is my night to be available for those unexpected things that happen in the night. But, unlike most of my calls,...Sermon | By Krista Taves | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Grief, Rights, Reproductive Justice

It was in Alaska, right before the first Gulf War, that I first realized how music can “teach us how to hear the world differently,” as jazz critic Jed Rasula once said. I was in the Air Force “Gateway to the West” jazz band and my unit was temporarily deployed to Alaska, waiting anxiously...Sermon | By Bret Lortie | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Acceptance, Peace, Responsibility, Work

After I graduated from college, I worked for Planned Parenthood for several years. Most days, I walked through protestors to get to work. They usually carried crosses and said things like, "Jesus will forgive you if you repent for your work." It turned out that the most revolutionary thing I did...Sermon | By Lisa Sargent | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Human Rights, Reproductive Justice

A former South African paramilitary commander looks across his dining room table into the interviewer's camera. He is in his early sixties, overweight, with short gray hair. He wears glasses and a polo shirt. It's late morning. He explains: "We were at war. We believed that if the Blacks were...Sermon | By David Schwartz | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: 5th Principle (Conscience & Democracy), Conscience, Dissent, Spiritual Practice

Moses was a rancher. Long before he became a famous Biblical patriarch who led his people to freedom from slavery, he was a simple rancher. And this simple rancher was tending his flock on the side of a mountain one day circa 1527 BCE, when he came upon a small forest fire—a burning bush. He was...Sermon | By Ana Porter | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: 7th Principle (Interconnected Web), Conscience, Earth, Food, Food Justice, Living Our Faith, Money

It has been a not-so-quiet week in Lake Wobegon! On Monday, I found that, apparently over a long period of time, a large sum of money was taken from me. What I thought I had safely saved toward some of my future dreams was gone! Have any of you ever been robbed? Do you remember how it felt to be...Sermon | By Randolph Becker | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: 6th Principle (World Community), Peace, Sacrifice, War

Readings 1: The Gospel of Mark, Chapter 14, verses 3-91 While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the Leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came in with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment of nard, and she broke open the jar and poured the ointment on his head....Sermon | By Joanne Giannino | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: 6th Principle (World Community), Class, Humanism, Privilege

The first step is to notice the mountain. It is there. And it belongs to a range of mountains. There’s no going around it. The next step is to reach the kind of acceptance that has us praying in our hearts: "Lord, I don’t ask you to move the mountain, just give me the strength to climb." The...Sermon | By Paul R Beedle | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Anti-Oppression, Diversity, Martin Luther King, Jr. Sunday, Race/Ethnicity, Respect, Responsibility, Service

Fantasies sometimes reveal undisclosed information about ourselves: our hidden phobias, unspoken desires and unexamined motives. And group fantasies say much about our culture—our society's real values as opposed to the ideals that receive mainly lip service.Sermon | By Gary Kowalski | January 21, 2015 | From WorshipWebTagged as: Greed, Money
