There’s so much we don’t know – Embracing Mystery

All the world’s religions and philosophies try to explain the meaning of life. Science tries to uncover truth. But ultimately we don’t really know the answers to why we are here, whether there is a God or not, and what happens to us when we die. So today, we wholeheartedly embrace the mystery of this existence, exploring how to live when we don’t know the answers to the most fundamental questions of life.

AI and Being Human

Are you wondering about the increasing role of Artificial Intelligence in our world? What is distinctly human and not able to be replicated by AI?

Join us today to begin a conversation around AI and being human.

Living in Another’s Shoes

When Rev. Nica broke both her feet last spring, she had the opportunity to experience the world from a wheelchair with severely restricted mobility.
