Every time we encounter the news here and around the world, we are no longer able to avoid what seems like an onslaught of alerts about the state of our world amidst storms and floods, fires, and drought as levels and frequencies almost too much to bear. And yet, as Robin Wall Kimmerer writes in The Serviceberry, An Economy of Abundance, “All flourishing is mutual.”

How do we live faithfully now? As a companion to our September worship centered upon the “Season of Creation,” we are delving into how we relate to one another and our surroundings. In the field of biology this practice is the study of ecology. As people of faith how do we approach relating to one another and our world? Our ecology is grounded in grace.

We proclaim grace to be God’s gift and love for humanity. It shows up as mercy and forgiveness and love that we receive even when we don’t deserve it. It shows up as making spaces and people whole and holy. It shows up as new life and regeneration in spite of past lives and generations. It shows up as peace and not the constant clashing of wills.

And it always shows up as a reminder that God will never call us disposable. We who are given this gift can then practice reflecting it in the world for the sake of the world.

Jesus commands us to “love our neighbors as ourselves.” (Mark 12:31). Grace is a place for every body – all ages and stages; races and ethnicities; all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions; those living with neurodiversity, disabilities and those who currently are not. As a community guided by the call of Jesus, we are committed to growing in anti
