I don’t want a smoothed-out, disproportionately aggrandized faith that attempts to draw all comers to its one self-righteous place at the top of the map of humanity… Instead, I want an imaginative and wandering faith of holy cartographers…

When your mind is silent… the forest suddenly becomes magnificently real and blazes transparently with the Reality of God.

Silence is never merely a cessation of words… Rather, it is the pause that holds together—indeed, it makes sense of all the both spoken and unspoken.

We need one another so that when our own little spring of hope dries up, there is a community well from which we can drink.

The work of justice can’t be carried out by one person–or even a few diverse people.

There will be help and community and kindness....

A worship collection celebrating democracy as a promise and a practice

Let us continue to grow as citizens of our communities, our nation, and our world. Let us work to build the common good, for ourselves and the generations to come.

Voice still and small, as we turn inward we listen for you. Deep inside all, this Easter morning, open our hearts to hear you in the figure of Jesus.

This prayer is designed to be woven into the song “Comfort Me,” #1002 in Singing the Journey.

There is no separation, here, of the sacred from the profane. No setting apart from the natural world.

I care that fascism is not just approaching, but is already here, rising, like this cresting river.

Whether your congregation is layled or whether you have a professional minister (maybe you are the professional minister!), it's not always easy to fill the worship schedule.

A ritual for honoring and remembering beloved ancestors and the recently departed, with roots in both the Christian and Pagan traditions.

Like the free-roaming roosters of the Caribbean, no one can tell me I don’t belong.

…those of us who believe in human rights for everyone; who believe in fundamentals of fairness, of equality, of equity; who believe in recognizing injustices of past, of present, and being accountable for ending them…

Together we create a love energy more powerful than any force of oppression…

This liturgy is for a ritual where the members of the congregation each bring to the service a meaningful book they would like to give away, and each member takes home a book that someone else has brought.

This liturgy provides words for a portion of a service devoted to hymn-singing. It should be possible to combine this with many of the usual elements of a congregation’s worship service. You will need to have an accompanist who can sight-read well, and it would be helpful to have a songleader.

All of us are active participants in co-creating congregational and community life.
