Dear Friends,
Today is All Saints Day. For me this is the day that proclaims and celebrates the wonderful partnerships - amazing in their diversity - that can and do exist between human potential and divine faithfulness.
All the saints who have gone before us, publicly celebrated and privately loved, lived out the invitation to holiness in the midst of times and a human world as violent and messy and confusing as the one we know and attempt to navigate day-by-day.
The good news there is fairly obvious: it is possible to become a saint here and now. Even here, Even now.
Today we celebrate the men and women who have lived saintly lives. Part of the celebration is to do the same ourselves.
As always, can access an up-to-date listing of Mercer fall theological/spirituality events today at:
