Social Justice and the Headwing Perspective By David on Sep 17, 2020 08:35 pm
Since George Floyd’s tragic death in May at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, the United States has been experiencing societal convulsions not seen since the 1960s. A spate of protests—violent and nonviolent—have caused great distress in many American cities. The crisis has brought issues that have long plagued the nation, such as racial […]

Listening and Reconciliation By Rev. Achille Acolaste on Sep 17, 2020 08:10 pm
It is said we have two ears and one mouth for a wise reason — “so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” Thus, the question I should ask myself daily is, “How good of a listener am I?” I would like to believe that I use my ears all the time […]

Tuning Fork Spirituality By James Edgerly on Sep 17, 2020 07:01 pm
About fifteen years ago, my sister Gail offered this confident refutation of my
“high religion” approach to spirituality: “Jim, I’ll tell you where I see God. I see God inside people, inside the people around me, inside myself.” “Unacceptable,” I thought at the time. “That’s so humanistic and so belittling to God.” On the other […]

“Sexual Integrity”: What Is It? And Why Do We Want It? By Andrew Love on Sep 17, 2020 07:01 pm
In recent years, we have seen startling falls from grace by major personalities – Bill Cosby, Matt Lauer, and Harvey Weinstein, to name a few.

Moving Above and Beyond Polarization
By Henri Schauffler on Sep 17, 2020 07:01 pm
In recent years, Americans have become troubled by the vivid polarization occurring in our country.

What is Happiness After All? By Mark Anderson on Sep 17, 2020 07:01 pm
We all want to know the future because it will affect our happiness and well- being. Who will win the presidential election? Is the stock market going to go up… or down? Will I get the promotion at work that I deserve? If we stake our happiness on future events, if we are just waiting for that better job or promotion to finally happen, then we are […]

Searching for Peace
By John Hessell on Sep 17, 2020 07:01 pm
The United States is again embroiled in a social upheaval over race relations. Peace and civil discourse are difficult to find, as insults, stereotyping, and name-calling prevail. I am listening carefully, but I can’t hear a voice for a better, less unfair, more peaceful future. Today’s turbulence reminds me of the 1960s anti-war movement, which […]
