Reimagining and Remaking: To Arrive Where We Started | Rev. Beth Dana
About this episode
Rev. Beth Dana reflects on the church's theme year, exploring what has been learned about faith and community amidst societal challenges.
T. S. Eliot wrote about the experience of seeking and exploring, only to return to where you started and to know the place for the first time. Looking back on our church's theme year, what do we know now – about ourselves, our faith, our community, our world – that we didn't know when we started? Reimagining and Remaking Series The world as we've known it is shifting, shaped by climate crisis, injustice, polarization, and deep longing for something better. In this closing series of our Return Again theme year, we ask: What now? What next? What if? This is a time for spiritual imagination. Let's explore the creativity needed to dream beyond the limits we've known, the courage to honor the Earth and our shared destiny, the persistence to make racial equity real, and the wisdom that comes when we return to our beginnings with new eyes. Together, we will imagine what is possible and take the first steps toward making it real. 💚 Consider making a one-time contribution to First Church today.
