The reflection by Rev. Jeanne Randall-Bodman presented on Sunday, November 26, 2023.

“In our current capitalist culture, which will be clamoring at us for the next month especially loudly, threatened as we are by would-be fascists, being grounded in gratitude, this kind of gratitude for the abundance beneath us, is a revolutionary act, reminding us that we do not live in scarcity, that scarcity is caused by some hoarding abundance.”

The reflection by Rev. Jeanne Randall-Bodman presented on Sunday, November 19, 2023.

“We are called, even in the midst of these apocalyptic, critical times, to practice gratitude. Gratitude while we are anxious, while we are resentful, while we are disappointed. Gratitude while we are suffering. Gratitude even when others are suffering and we feel helpless to assist them. Our gratitude is not at their expense, but so that we can be reminded of the web of life to which we all belong, together.”

“… living as we are in times when wars, and rumors of wars, and political storms often leave us with apocalyptic feelings and questions, with a heighten awareness of our own precarity, and the precarity of all our systems and arrangements, which we thought were so safe and secure. We too look around and wonder, what are we meant to be doing? What does ‘ready’ look like to people of faith?”

The reflection by Rev. Jeanne Randall-Bodman presented on Sunday, October 22, 2023.

"Our call is to help those who are being harmed and to work to stop the harm, not to hate those who are doing the harm because it won’t stop them, and it won’t protect those who are in harm’s way… the call to love is a call to stand for justice for all the people. It’s a call to stand with those who are being harmed, and a call to call those who are doing the harm back to their humanity."
