Our worship theme for this month is “The Way of Interdependence.” And it’s true—we are connected to one another, and affected by one another—this way of interdependence is a fact of life these days—whether we like it or not.
And the other day, I wasn’t very happy to realize I’d be preaching on this particular theme. And I was one of the people who chose it! But these days I’m struggling with the fact that our progress out of this pandemic is being held back by people who refuse to listen to science and get vaccinated, who put their personal beliefs and biases above the common good.
