In reunion with all that is true, we meet freedom.We stray no more from self. And we can love.We wish no more absence of confrontation yetwe repect each teacher also as learner in our care.Thus we find love in each meeting.There is no conversation between two peoplethat is not a chance for healing of the world.There is no voice too small that cannot add to the force of good.Even stillness can be God’s compelling presence, if we so desire.And there is no limit to which the human heart can expandto embrace the sincerity of any human striving to contribute.And so we must forge our relationshipswith accommodation as well as with the creative callingto bring the human experience closer to divine.And find compassion for each earthly life.
I was ordained in this religion with no dogma to offer a world desperate for answers; by tradition to be called the Reverend in a world irreverent about moral ascendancy; to stand for a people of my sexual orientation met with intolerance and violence in the world; to be present as a person of color in a majority-white denomination; to represent a liberal faith in a country so Catholic that one can be jailed for “offending religious feelings". So help me God.
