Guided and inspired by the life and teachings of Jesus and other sources of great wisdom, we seek to learn, change and grow.

A central ethic that has governed medical practitioners since long before Jesus’ time is to “do no harm”. The story goes that one of Jesus’ close followers was a doctor. That person’s ethic seems to have been very consitent with the Way of Jesus. Jesus was always looking to reduce pain, isolation, and the harms thrust on to the vulnerable by those with power.

A lot of water had flowed down the Nile between when a curious princess found a baby and when Moses tended flocks and investigated a curious sight on Mount Horeb. These moments of curiosity deeply effected the Israelite people.

There is value is learning what others think about me, especially those who know us best. But the more important question is to be posed to the one in the mirror. Who Am I?

When churches claim that All Are Welcome but people are met with restrictions, the words “all”, “are” and “welcome” are being misused. Grace requires that these words are lived out as intended. It is a lesson that even Jesus had to learn.

Our prayers are with the LGBTQ community in Berlin, Germany, as a terrorist drove a van into a Pride festival event last night, and also attacked people with a machete.

One person was killed and at least 29 others injured. The suspect has been identified and is still at large and being sought by police.

An attack on one LGBTQ community is an attack on LGBTQ communities everywhere.

We pray for the victims in Berlin, for their families and for those responding to this tragedy as medics, police and community leaders. We pray also for the police as they search for the person or persons who wreaked this chaos on an event meant to celebrate the community, solidarity and joy of Pride.

Bring your comfort, your justice and your healing, dear God.

In the name of the One who brings peace. Amen.
