Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness… In the name of democracy, let us all unite!
– Charlie Chaplin
Week 4 Chalica Reflection from Rev. Randy Partain
Chalice Lighting

We hold this sacred lamp, applying knowledge with care and abiding purpose.
Action Ideas
Watch this (very) short reflection on “responsibility” as a concept, especially as it relates to things we accomplish and do in the world.
