November 2, 2025 "Co-Creating Beloved Community"

In this fifth installment of the Co-Creating Beloved Community series, Rev. Kristin explores the profound difference between being watched and being truly seen, drawing inspiration from the transformative work of Father Greg Boyle with former gang members. She emphasizes that authentic community is built not by trying to fit in or conform, but by courageously expressing our unique soul essence and honoring the beautiful diversity within our spiritual family. Through the wisdom of Rumi's poetry about soul friendship and the evolution from the Golden Rule to the Platinum Rule - treating others as they wish to be treated - Rev. Kristin invites us to create deeper connections that serve as both safety nets and springboards for our collective becoming. This message calls us to step boldly into our authentic selves as the foundation for building the beloved community we are all meant to co-create.
