Now What Do I Say?
One service at 10:00 a.m. (note: fall return to two services has been postponed; new date for resumption of fall schedule is TBD)
The power of personal narrative is that it provides opportunities to bond and create community. Working in community with a diverse group of people means that all present will be in a richer, more fertile environment. How do we do that? Storytelling is a powerful tool for creating empathy, facilitating healing, and inspiring action. Sometimes before we tell our stories we have to remove foot from mouth, back track, rewind, apologize, or simply take our chins off the floor. This morning we will start a conversation about how to do that with some grace.
The Rev. Kikanza Nuri Robins is a trans-traditional spiritual leader who works with groups from many faith traditions. She is an author, a consultant to mission driven organizations, and a member of our beloved community.
Dozens of our members are at de Benneville Pines weekend – and holding a service this morning at our mountain camp.

Now What Do I Say?
Sometimes we just don’t know what to say. We see something; we know it is wrong, but we say nothing. The next morning we think of several things we might have said, but the moment is gone. The perpetrators think we agree with them. The targets feel alone and abandoned. And we feel like failures as witnesses, allies, or advocates. And then there are the times when “sorry” isn’t enough. But we just don’t know what to say. Join the chorus of a very human community of goodhearted people who want to do the right thing, but sometimes just don’t know what the right thing is to say.
