Dedication of our peace pole...

Well, it came to pass: I through away my sermon notes, spoke of working on a "Three Cups of Tea" commitment re: Afghanistan and invited the folk to see where the Spirit might lead us. Right after worship, we dedicated our new Peace Pole...

Interestingly, people were really energized about this approach. Like Brian McLaren wrote: conservatives can get behind this idea because it is all about personal initiative and responsibility and liberals can affirm it because it strengthens our peace and justice commitments. So... our next Monday evening series in November will jump into the book: Three Cups of Tea. And on my way out of worship, I was told of a local Berkshire connection with Afghanistan: The Peter M. Goodrich Foundation. (check it out: www.goodrichfoundation.org/index.php) For additional information go to: www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/asia/july-dec09/taliban_08-14.html
