Dr. Dimock began by referring to a line from Psalm 84 read this morning....
'...even the sparrow finds a home...
It reminded me of the songs of sparrows and other birds in the stillness of old churches including those that have been destroyed in wars. The sparrows find a refuge...without invitation... and it becomes a place of deep connection and protection.
Dr. Dimock reminded us when we feel safe and truly loved we become our best selves. How important it is for us to help create that environment for others!
Referring to Kathleen Morris' book, 'Amazing Grace', Dr. Dimock noted we can't be a Christian on our own...we are a mixed community, 'living stones' building a church together.
