Claiming Our Creativity

04 Nov, 2024


We’ve jumped around a little this fall, but we’re back to our series on Becoming an Island of Sanity . I’ve never before felt like this was as important. With the election two days away, it feels like anxiety lives in the very air we breathe...

Live & Grieve

28 Oct, 2024


Allow me to begin by sharing something I wrote… I don’t even know when, only that it was at a time of great loss. In the midst of life we are in death. Who told the sun it could still shine? Or the birds they could still sing? Or the flowers...

Kindness Changes & Connects Us

21 Oct, 2024


The closer we get to the election on November 5, the more afraid people seem to be; afraid of losing their rights, afraid of increasing violence, and so much more. This only serves to reinforce for me the need at this crucial time for Islands...

Nurturing Kindness

07 Oct, 2024


We’ve been talking about Margaret Wheatley’s concept of being an Island of Sanity. She says, “An Island of Sanity is a gift of possibility and refuge. It is a true island because it sets itself apart from the destructive dynamics, policies, and...

Nurturing Generosity

Margaret Wheatley, in her book, Restoring Sanity , is clear that what is needed right now are Islands of Sanity. Places of rest, refuge, support, reflection, courage, and compassion. Places where we can gather our souls back close to us, ground...

An Island of Sanity

09 Sep, 2024


Joanna Macy and Christ Johnstone, in their book, Active Hope, suggest that we can look at the world from three different story lines (stories being the way our minds make sense of the world): Business as Usual The Great Unraveling The Great...

Close Up & Personal

03 Sep, 2024


Let’s talk about getting close up and personal. Why? Because is one of the best way to move beyond the divisions that exist to remember our connectedness and create a world of harmony and peace. Our instinct is to back away from those we don’t...

Rejecting the Single Story

26 Aug, 2024


Have you ever been judged by someone who didn’t know you, someone who knew a single story about you? For me it is almost always about being a pastor. You’re a pastor? I didn’t know women could be pastors? You don’t look like a pastor. That was...

Islam: The Greater Jihad

19 Aug, 2024


If I asked you what the first word is that comes to mind when you think of Muslims, what would you say? Would it be something like terrorists, dangerous, extremist, burkas, oppression of women? I wouldn't be surprised because that is how we've...
