"My challenge to you is simple. Before you leave campus for the summer as graduates or just on break before the church reconvenes next fall, become a seeker. Don't let the people around you linger in that state of double hiding and that disaster of not being found. Seek out a peer, a classmate, a neighbor, a student, a child, a parent. You don't have to immediately demand profound vulnerability. Simply offer them the topsoil of your trust and the mulch of your patience. Ask them a genuine question about their life.... And then when they answer, just listen." Rabbi Getzel Davis, Director of Interfaith Engagement, Harvard University. Watch the full sermon. https://ow.ly/YX9f50Z2cp8

"When I look upon those things, and when I feel that sense of loss, when I feel orphaned, the farewell of Jesus rings so loudly in my ears. Sometimes in certain times, maybe in times like these, we don't know where in this world to look for a sign of God's grace." - The Rev. Matthew Ichihashi Potts.
