Destructive purity binaries have separated us from one another and from our own bodies, and it’s time for us to experience true holiness through the pure, connecting, unifying love of God that holds us all in its divine embrace. We are beautifully complex people and it is wrong and dishonest to label ourselves according to a binary that disregards our complex humanity. We are not pure or impure, we simply are, and God has called us good
God comes among you with comfort and hope. In word and sacrament, Christ is presented to you this day. With your eyes you see the promised One and at this table you receive his body in your hands as well. Even when all seems hopeless, we come together to hear again of God’s faithfulness, evermore and evermore. Oh, that we might live with such trust, as did Simeon and Anna. At the end of the liturgy each week is the dismissal. Go in peace. In other words, you can go now. Go to serve. Go with gratitude. Go with faith and hope and trust! Evermore and evermore.
