Naming the Goodness and Tracing Its Source

Led by Rev. Erika Hewitt, pulpit guest and Rev. Katie Kandarian-Morris. Where does the good stuff in life come from? The way we explain goodness reveals much about our religious assumptions.

Notes from a Spiritual Eclectic

Led by Roy King, Jr., intern minister. In this era of specialization across many domains, including the religious, being an eclectic has acquired some negative connotations. How might we come to terms with our multiple spiritual identities?
