Chalice Family Update
June 26, 2025
In June, the theme has been the Practice of Freedom
In July and August, the theme will be Summer Surprise
My Gay Brother’s Keeper
Sunday morning at 10am
with Merlin Snider
“We Are Everywhere,” read the bumper sticker on the bookshelf of my brother’s apartment in the early 70s. And yes, every family, nuclear or extended, includes our queer brothers and sisters. Whether we judge, ignore, embrace or celebrate the diversity among us is our choice, one that ripples out far beyond our lifetime. Clifton Snider was a principled and prolific teacher, poet, writer and activist who deeply touched the lives of many and made the world a better place for having sojourned among us. I am proud this month, and every month, to call him my brother.
