From Confusion to Understanding

May 15, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

In 2008, I worked in a church up in Preston Connecticut. This church had a good diversity of members. One family was from Korea and the grandmother did not know English but still liked to attend worship every Sunday. So to ensure that the service was worth something spiritually to her, we would work with … [Read more…]

Loving Care

May 8, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

Loving and caring for one another is traditionally linked with the idea of motherhood. However, not all mothers are naturals at this and sometimes that figure in our lives who provides that love and care is in fact not our mothers. For me though, my mother did provide that nurturing care that helped me to … [Read more…]

Spiritual Hospitality

May 1, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

Many of you may already know that my sister-in-law Adrienne was in the Peace Corps and lived in Costa Rica for 2 years. So when looking into hospitality, I thought it was important to understand hospitality in different cultures. So I spoke with her about her experiences with hospitality in the very rural small village … [Read more…]

God without Boundaries

April 24, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

I am reading a book right now that has really called me to think about the nature of religion. The name of the book is Not in God’s Name by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. It looks into violence done in the name of God, in the name of one monotheistic religion or another. He looks at … [Read more…]

Hopes or Wishes: Acts of New Life

April 17, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

When I was 11 years old, all my friends were getting braces except for me. I wanted to be just like my friends. I didn’t want to stand out in any way. I remember praying to God that I would get braces like my friends. I prayed that I could be just like them. I … [Read more…]

A New Way

April 10, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

The conversion of Saul is perhaps one of the more entertaining and moving pieces of scripture in the Bible. It shows not only a conversion but the power of God, the forgiveness of Jesus, and the new way of life offered to all peoples. I have always read this account with awe and a little … [Read more…]

Just Believe

April 3, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

Having faith and believing without the evidence is probably the hardest challenge we receive in life. It is never easy to just trust that something has happened, especially if we have not experienced it ourselves. Growing up with two older brothers has taught me not to believe everything I am told. As they frequently would … [Read more…]

Too Good to be True

March 27, 2016 by ReverendAmanda

One of my favorite TV programs is The Goldberg’s on Wednesday nights. It is about a family growing up in the 1980s. I find it funny because many of the trends and styles and issues the children face remind me of my own childhood growing up in the 80s. Well the most recent episode focused … [Read more…]
