Ocean of Divinity

We continue celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Pastor Earl will preach on a name for God from the Christian mystical tradition—the Ocean of Divinity, and reflect on how God’s vast and boundless love can draw us together as we confront the dividing force of racism.

“I want to love more than death can harm. And I want to tell you this often: That despite being so human and so terrified, here, standing on this unfinished staircase to nowhere and everywhere, surrounded by the cold and starless night—we can live. And we will.” 

– Ocean Vuong in the episode, “A Life Worthy of Our Breath,” of On Being with Krista Tippett

“The Godhead is a source from which all things do rush 

And then return to it. An ocean It is thus.”

– Angelus Silesius,in “The Cherubinic Wanderer”
