Speaker: Rev. Karen Stoyanoff
Often we color our world by making judgments about ideas or places, or even people before we have really encountered them. When we do that we limit our experiences and, even worse, make mistakes - wrong judgments. And generally we do this, create the problem, outside of our awareness. We don't realize we're doing itl. Today's service will invite us to look at how we maintain this problem in our lives and what it might mean to change our habits and open ourselves to the world we live in. Our retired former minister was recently approved to become our Minister Emerita.
