Our first Dinner Dialogue last week was a blast.
Here we are, y'all. the first full week of classes may seem overwhelming as you gain some new muscles and find some deeper focus, but you've got tons of help around you. Tonight let's light some candles and breathe a little deeper into what our faith is and could be.

Tonight: Taize Worship
Taizé worship has a rich, lush space in the expanse of Christian history as it has always been infused by mysticism and wonder. PCC's worship is no different. Through silence, chant and listening, we will revisit one of the many ways in which PCC worships by the restorative light of candles.

Q&A with Chaplain Sam:
We had a ton of feedback from the DEIA panel a few weeks ago that involved students texting panelists questions about college, life and faith. Let's get some of those fantastic questions answered!
For Pastor: how do you feel about people who don’t believe in god? (I’m genuinely curious)
Part of my job as a Minister is to extend non-judgmental love as much as I can. Similar to a doctor’s “do no harm” vow but about sharing love. While that can get complicated when someone is causing harm to me or anyone else, it has nothing to do with a person believing in God. Atheists and Agnostics (folks who believe in God but don’t have a codified faith practice) are fabulous. There’s a lot of reasons not to believe in God, some of us just do. And there’s no empirically true One Right Way to Live. (That’d be silly.) |
