Today’s service, June 14, 2026 – “The Problem of Omnipotence” – by Rev. Dr. Mark Y.A. Davies
Many adherents of the Abrahamic religions hold a belief that God, or the Divine, possesses unlimited power. This discourse will explore the many problematic implications of such a belief, especially at a time when our taking responsibility for addressing the challenges for our human and ecological communities has never been more urgent.

May 31, 2026- “Music & the LGBTQIA+ Community” – Jack Bolerjack and Brand Kosloski

Music has been an integral part of the Q***r community for its entire history. From innuendo to bravely speaking our truths out loud; major hits to B side and forgotten references; it buoyed us along and let us know that we existed, that there IS a place for us and that me can be loved.

These Are My People

By Karen G. Johnston
March 18, 2026
“This is the world I want to live in. The shared world….This can still happen anywhere. Not everything is lost.”
—Naomi Shihab Nye, “Gate A4” from Honeybee
I have heard that the Buddhist teacher Sharon Salzburg has a spiritual practice when she flies. Waiting to board at the airport gate, she looks at the people sitting there and says to herself, These are my people.

In front of a glass wall facing an airport runway where a plane takes off, a line of diverse passengers lines up with luggage as if preparing to board a flight.
A random, possibly ragtag, set of strangers are her people? Seriously? Yes, seriously.

I have begun doing this. At the gate. On board. For the next few hours, these are my people. With weather delays, even longer.

And I have begun doing it elsewhere. When riding the train. Attending a concert. In the grocery store. I even did it in January, when I was one of hundreds of clergy who traveled to Minneapolis to march with 50,000+ for the future of our nation. Every so often, in that frigid cold, I would feel the crowd around me and think: These people: they are mine and I am theirs.

They weren’t my besties nor my chosen family. Not even my immediate neighbors, but the ones that the universe cast as my temporary lot. Random. Not of my choosing.

Except I choose to choose them. As a spiritual practice, it stretches me. This embrace of others that I believe my faith asks of me (requires of me?) is not necessarily logical, as well as occasionally mystical and nearly always complicated.

Does this change anything? Bring about healing or justice? I’m not certain, but I can’t help wondering if this one way we get closer to Love at the Center.

Does this transform me? Hell, yes. It commits me to the very nature of reality: interdependence. It reminds me that I—that we—belong to each other, like it or not.

I’m thankful for the deep (so deep) and real (so real) and true (so true) ways in which we risk growing Beloved Community. In which we dare creating mutual aid networks beyond those besties. In which we risk creating and sustaining the necessary, complex, messy, sometimes prickly, sometimes joyful community coalitions to get us through this authoritarian nightmare.

These are my people.
You are my people.

Today’s service, May 17, 2026 – “Post-Truth Society” - Rev. Dr. Mark Y.A. Davies

Democracy cannot survive in a post-truth society. The truth and evidence-based critical thinking matter if we are to develop the shared understanding of reality that makes beloved community possible
