Rob: Thanks for sharing your personal reflections on the religious bigotry which we all carry aroumd. I attend an UCC church now that uses three phrases during worship that help me continue. At the beginning, the pastor welcomes the congregation with the words " No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, You are welcomed here." After reading the scripture, she says "
May God grant us wisdom and courage for interpretation." and during the benediction, she says " ...Love one another, every single other". For me, it's worth attending Mayflower UCC just to hear these three lines. Also, it's the most liberal church in the very Red state of Oklahoma. Terry

Good to hear from you, Terry, and thanks for your helpful comment. Blessings.
We all need to reflect continuously.
Agreed. Continuous reflection in action.
