And a bit more...
We support a community of spiritual refugees in living out their integrated call as people of faith and action. We prioritize racial justice, earth care, and the contemplative way that empowers nonviolent spirituality and loving engagement with the world. We embrace the feminine divine, apprentice ourselves to womanist midrash, experiment with liturgy, and believe that the church is at an inflection point in which God is calling us to greater inclusivity, welcome, and grace-filled presence in the world.
