One Service for All at 10:30 am
As we begin the December theme of “Peace," I ask myself if peace is an inner state or an outer reality. In Thich Nhat Hanh's book Being Peace, the Vietnamese Buddhist monk shares about watching monks burn themselves in the middle of the street to protest war. Had those monks found inner peace? If so, does such peace seem achievable or even worthwhile? What is true peace? I want to discuss how we might find our own peace in these turbulent and divisive times.
Please stay after the service for a brief Congregational Meeting at 11:30, followed by lunch and a party at 12:30 for all ages to decorate the church Christmas Tree.
