I attended the UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST North Carolina High Country version this morning. Around the top of the church wall are words such as these. I only did two thirds to share.
Reverence,Unity,Love,Respect,Forgiveness,Humanity,Diversity,Honesty,Accepting,Welcoming,Unconditional,Peace,Dignity,Acceptance,Celebration,God,Tolerance,Charity,Hope, Healing,Comfort,Understanding,Persistence,Empathy,Mercy,Spirit,Miracles,Harmony,Gratefulness,Goodwell, Praise, Blessings, Joy, Altruism,Passion,Celebration,Prayer,Comfort,Laughter,Progressive,Silence,Meditation,Blessing,Caring,Sharing,Silence,Reciprocity,Compassion,Family,Laughter,ETC. I copied what I could without rotating my head.
The woman minister expressed to me that he is sorry that Reverend Wright has given the UCC such a bad name. I am too although I can say I understand a lot of his zeal for persons of color. |
