Rev. Ellen's talk title for Sunday, October 5, is "Finding Joy in a Troubled World: Insights from Wisdom." 

​

The world is facing significant challenges: war, starvation, terrorism, pollution, and genocide, which fill my heart with sorrow. Amidst such overwhelming issues, how can we find joy?  Can we play a role in changing the current situation? This Sunday, join me as we delve into these questions through the insights of the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.  We are reminded that we can tap into our inherent goodness and our capacity for compassion, emphasizing our connection to one another as one family. Together, we can cultivate a deep sense of hope as a belief in the possibility of a better future, regardless of our current circumstances, and examine the practices of forgiveness and compassion as our paths forward.

 

"You show your humanity by how you see yourself not as apart from others but from your connection to others."

Archbishop Desmond Tutu

 

Affirmation:  I open my heart in a spirit of compassion.

In Love and Light,
