Ready and Willing

On the 40th anniversary of his ordination, the Rev. George Adamik reflects on the deeper, broader call for the church today: working for justice with our neighbors; walking with our LGBTQ+ siblings; seeking racial reconciliation; welcoming immigrants, refugees, and farmworkers; and caring for God’s creation.

To Persevere

The Rev. Javier Almendárez-Bautista reflects on failure, persistence, and prayer (Luke 18:1-8): “Blessed are those who try and who stumble and who pick themselves up. Blessed are those who pick themselves back up and dust off their knees and get back in the ring. Blessed are you who know the misery and disappointment of failure — you, the wonderful, beautiful, grace-filled losers who bear witness to life and joy on the other side.”
