Yesterday I spoke at City Lights fellowship, a small congregation meeting in the old Friends church in Manhattan, and led by my friend Vince Anderson. Yes they meet on Saturday morning with breakfast at 11 am and service at 11:30. It's an offshoot of a Seventh-Day Adventist group. Lovely group of people. They were in the midst of a series about Loving Our Neighbors, so my reflections on climate change and faith fit in quite well.
Afterward we went to Vince's place in Queens and caught up on each other. Vince had been part of an intentional Christian community in Denver of which I was also a part years ago. Now he leads or helps to lead four small congregations of people earnestly seeking to live in a Way that is compassionate and true. Vince is a terrific musician; one of his "congregations" meets in a bar called Union Pool late on Monday nights.
Today is the big day of the Climate March. What else to say on that? I hope to share some reflections later today. Right now, I'm off to St. Peter's Lutheran Church in mid-town, where they are having a Mass for Creation during their 8:45 AM worship.
