The Winter Solstice was about a week and a half ago. In the Northern Hemisphere, it’s the day with the shortest period of daylight and the longest night of the year. Around our area of suburban Philadelphia, that means the longest night was over fourteen and a half hours. That’s a lot of darkness. The … Continue reading Finding Faith in the Darkest of Hours

To Pledge Ourselves Anew

As a liberal religion, we hold steadfast to the belief that all are welcome in our places of worship and reflection and that all should feel celebrated and safe. The report “Widening the Circle of Concern” shared at this year’s General Assembly reminds us that our tradition is still growing and living into this vision. … Continue reading To Pledge Ourselves Anew

The pandemic was well under way. Leaving his position of privilege, this respected medical practitioner went into the streets and hospitals to serve those who were suffering and dying from the disease. The physician’s name was Guy de Chauliac. It was the 14th century and the plague, known as the Black Death, would devastate up … Continue reading On Moral Courage
