Our Welcome

Because we don't think beliefs are important, but because we think beliefs are so important that no one can hand them to you at the door.

Beliefs cannot be entered into lightly nor can they be dispensed with easily; they are so important that they should not be mandated by any authority, religious or otherwise; they must arise from our own experience and understanding; they must grow from the very essence of who we are and who we are becoming; beliefs are so important that they require our individual work and reflection, and we ask that everyone find ways to share the fruits of their labors with the congregation. We support each other in the work of believing; we affirm and also lovingly challenge each other's beliefs; we are companions on the journey, but the beliefs are our own, and, because we see beliefs as open to change, the work is ongoing.

Some beliefs are rigid, writes Sophia Fahs, like the body of death, impotent in a changing world. Other beliefs are pliable, like the young sapling, ever growing with the upward thrust of life.

May your beliefs grow ever upward.
