Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - The Necessary Conversation. Special Wednesday Evening Service with Olivia Kinzler

The United States is known to be one of the most diverse countries in the world...a melting pot of sorts. From the outside looking in, it would seem so. I believe we can do better at cultivating communities where all races, colors, creeds and ethnicities are valued; I believe we can better recognize the goodness and talents of all people who were born here, or immigrated here, so we might all take part in the American dream.

Diversity for me is the goal. Within our CSLSR community of like-minded souls, I wonder what it might look like if we were more curious about those who are different from us. So much can be learned and appreciated when one lives amongst a variety of people whose cultures and experiences don't match with our own.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (D.E.I.) will be discussed in detail beginning on Wed. 8/21 at Rev. Russ's mid-week service. We will look at how Diversity has deep spiritual roots, and how honoring Diversity is a rich spiritual practice. There will also be a time for questions, because curiosity is one of the best ways we learn and come together in community.

Love,

Olivia Kinzler

PS: The potluck starts at 6pm! Bring your favorite dish to share with your friends, and we will begin our conversation about Diversity at 7.

Their tragic history raises powerful questions about what happens when deeply held beliefs are challenged. How do you respond when your beliefs are questioned?

Dr. Edward Viljoen at Wednesday Evening - Recovering from Betrayal: Lessons from Holy Wednesday

Betrayal can leave us reeling, lost in a sea of shattered trust and emotional turmoil. Yet, within the stories we've inherited, there are paths forward, lessons on resilience, and recovery that resonate through time. Holy Wednesday, often overshadowed by the more prominent days of Holy Week, offers profound insights into the nature of betrayal and the steps toward healing. Dr. Edward will talk about the story of betrayal, understanding its impact on our peace, and the steps we may take to heal from it. The Story of Betrayal Holy Wednesday marks a pivotal moment in the Easter narrative—the day Judas Iscariot chose to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. This act wasn't a mere transaction; it was a breach of deep, personal trust. Judas, one of the twelve disciples, had walked alongside Jesus, sharing in the journey, the teachings, and the miracles. His betrayal set in motion the events leading to the crucifixion, a cornerstone of the Easter story. Understanding the Impact B...
