We had a wonderful gathering last evening! It is available for reply over on YouTube. It includes vespers, eucharist, and a conversation around money, power, and those who hold them. A very important conversation for us Christians and monastics to meditate upon.

Happy Reformation Day to all!
You may have noticed that this day is not actually on our liturgical calendar. We have Martin Luther on February 18th!
It is not on our calendar because the only other events to make it are ones that took place in the bible (Christmas, Easter, Transfiguration, etc).

The book of Proverbs tells us that fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Jesus shows us that fear is the death of love.
In the cross and resurrection of the Christ, love has overcome death.
Let us choose love over fear, acceptance over hatred, and in doing so, step into the life our God has for us.

An amazing thing tends to happen as our churches lose cultural power & influence. The people who crave money and power move on, and the church is left to those who deeply love it and love all those Jesus loves. It's why ecumenical movements continue to gain momentum in post-Christian spaces.
