“Christians think of Jews as very close kin,” says Barbara Brown Taylor. “We share so much heritage that we often speak of “the Judeo-Christian tradition” as if it were one instead of two.”
As we launch into the 5th and final in our Summer EnLightenment series drawn from Barbara Brown Taylor’s book, “Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others”, we will have an opportunity to learn along with her just how many differences that hyphen really spans. And as with her exploration of Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam, we are invited to open our hearts and minds to the spiritual riches God can teach us from the faith of others.
As we prepare to do so, a question for us to ponder: What is the hardest part about loving your neighbour as yourself?
Presiding: Mary White
Reflection Reader: Karen Halliday

Our worship each Sunday is intended to be a collective experience, a communal practice. We might step into whatever is our sanctuary, each one of us as individuals, and yet as we assemble, from wherever we are, we become a people, drawn together through song and prayer, through word and ritual, and through the Spirit who breathes through it all, through us all. One and the same Spirit uniting us breathing us into life!
