Rev Beth muses on the Burning Man Festival: its philosophy, geometric growth, community style–and encourages comparison with MPC.

On the tenth anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, members of the Faith Trio—Rabbi David J. Cooper, Dr. Rahim Nobahar, and Rev. Beth Buckingham-Brown—discuss lessons learned from a Jewish, Muslim, and Christian perspective.

Rev. Beth discusses Romans 12:1-2 and the questions it raises about the ‘will of God’: how it relates to free will, how to discern your own path, and how to best meet the needs of the wider world.

Noting that even Jesus changed his mind when confronted with the faith of a desperate Canaanite mother, Rev. Beth talks about change in the church. “This story is an invitation to you.”  Scripture Matthew 15:21-28

Posing the question “How Is Your Heart?” Rev. Beth reminds us that one of Jesus’ most important teachings is that there is where God lives.  Scripture: Matthew 15:10-20
