Wonder, Awe and the In-breaking of the Holy
In our tradition, we value science and reason, discussion and debate, even as we delight in all we cannot know. There is a place and a grace in the mystery that holds us.

As faithful people, we want to help, but there is so little that we can change by next Tuesday that the world can feel too heavy on our shoulders.
