What if someone handed you a brand new canvas and a beautiful set of paints and brushes? Assuming you were an accomplished artist, what would you paint? Because in a way, life hands us that every day, every week. 24 hours, 168 hours. What kind of life are you painting?
Title: Reconciling With Our Enemies
Speaker: Melissa Torres
Reconciling with our enemies, forgiving others, healing breaches…Judeo-Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism all call reconciliation a foundational element of their faiths. But in order to reach reconciliation with others, each faith calls for the faithful to perform an even more difficult task: forgive and accept oneself. It is striking that though these faiths may approach reconciliation from different angles, this essence remains intact and has carried through for thousands of years, from the Mishnah to the Dhammapada, and the New Testament to the Qu’ran. This sermon will explore that essence and how these different faiths have wrestled with the concepts of healing and forgiveness.
After the service, please stay for Coffee and Conversation.
