Who Is Marriage For? National Coming Out Day (NCOD), the day set aside to encourage bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender (BGLT) people to be open about who they are, is October 11. To a great extent it has been the coming out of individuals to their family, friends, and coworkers that has led to steady reductions in the seemingly global condemnation of BGLTs. In celebration of NCOD, Interweave, our church's group for BGLTs and their allies, hosts the service and welcomes to the pulpit the Rev. Ernest Pipes, who will discuss his history of officiating at same-sex couple weddings long before most BGLTs even dreamed of same-sex marriages as a possibility. |

Who Says 'I Do'? What is marriage? There are many answers to this question. They all affirm the right to marriage for all people. Following the second service, and after lunch in Forbes Hall, Interweave will host a panel discussion, The Politics of Same-Sex Marriage, at 1230 p.m. in the sanctuary. |

Why I Come to Church When we began our search process last year, Search Committee member Karl Lisovsky made a short movie about our congregation in which he asked members to talk about why they come to church. Some of our answers, and those of the Rev. Rebecca Benefiel Bijur, our candidate for settled minister, may surprise you. This is the first of two Sundays with services led by Rev. Bijur.

Why I Pray Although my own beliefs about God have changed a lot over the years, my prayers have hardly changed at all. I've never asked myself why. Perhaps it's time to do so. |

Why the Right Get It Wrong and the Left Just Don't Get It
"The world has gotten too big and too complex for a divided people to manage. The line that runs between Red and Blue, Have and Have Not have polarized us and paralyzed us from needed change. It has been spiritual and ethical courage that has called forth the moral and courageous conversations around war, poverty, racism, healthcare and the environment. So where is that conversation?
