This week we will celebrate Pentecost, one of the core teachings of our faith that tells us that Christianity can speak to all people, across all nations. By the work of the Spirit no person is excluded from being able to hear, and universally understand, the Word of God. The only exclusivity comes from an understanding of the connection to the Divine through Christ, and his teachings. But we also know that we live in a world that, unlike ages past, we are not only exposed to many other faith traditions, we are also welcome to become part of them. No longer is one’s faith tradition almost exclusively defined by where they were born. What does this mean for us today? When did this openness become part of our world? Can we recognize worthwhile aspects of other faith traditions, and still claim ourselves as Christian that hold Christ teachings as being the core truth from which we draw light?

Join us this Thursday evening at Glennmore landing, and/or this Sunday for service, as we consider how using ancient traditions we can navigate through a raging sea of religious Pluralism.
