November’s worship theme is Belonging. To belong can be a position of some ambivalence. Often a comfort and sometimes a curse. Where are we meant to fit? To whom are we suited for? Are we meant to be neatly socially classified? Are we cosmically the property of anyone but ourselves? In this Autumn month in which we honor the harvest season, National Indigenous People Heritage Month, the Thanksgiving holiday, and are striving to gather in generous Beloved Community in times fraught with polarization and global strife… let us commune each Sunday in a way in which we can all belong and be longing together.
As the hymn goes, We Are a Gentle Angry People, and as a liberal religious community, we are consistently striving for the ideal pluralistic, multi-cultural Beloved Community. We busy ourselves with the admirable and exhausting spiritual work of closing the gap between our avowed beliefs and our troublesome day-to-day socialization. This is hard stuff it can seem like there is little time to just rest in the moment and experience the joy that allows our hearts to be touched by the better angels of our nature. So this Sunday, I’ll ask us to take stock of this imperfect world and our flawed and fledgling place in it and love the whole mess no matter.
