He made a mistake and threw it aside. When I saw it I thought it was a marvelous mistake. It said "I am a loving".

I'd like to thank you for always approaching every topic from the positive side. I have discovered as I travel around this country going to different churches that most (even progressive churches) seem to approach subjects from the negative side, with resentment and anger. As they say, its impossible to "fight" for peace. Peace has to start from within. This sermon continues in this inspirational manner, thank you Ian Thanks for getting the videos back on-line.

You sound bold, looking forward and not backwards. Good for you, and good for you being willing to step into the unknown. Now thats faith. You sound like a Phoenix rising. Keep in touch and keep venturing into your own humanity. Ian Hi Rosemary- thanks for writing. You sound bold, looking forward and not backwards.

Also thank you for the seeds I receive daily. I am a 63 year old who feels she is just being born into some new thing. It is scary, challenging, beautiful - all at the same time. I need something/someone to believe in. I have accepted that I can never go back to what I used to believe and it has left quite a hole which I wasn't able to fill. Thanks to you, Ian, that hole is now in the process of being filled and I thank you once again from the bottom of my heart. It has been a very lonely time for me and I am so grateful to you and Bishop Spong et al in that you have given me hope. Rosemary Dear Ian, Thank you for explaining things so clearly.

I have recently thought of a label which doesn't seem limiting - Eternal Self - it makes me feel much better when I remember to use those two words. Thank you Ian for another fine sermon. The paragraph starting with "This is good news for some...," is especially meaningful to me. I so enjoyed celebrating Evolution Sunday. P.S. Jackie did a fine job with the congregational choir, that was really cool. Yes, beautifully stated indeed Karen.

Or maybe evolution changes the physical nature of the human condition that we become something so far out there that we aren't evolved enough to understand it. That what we perceive as a destruction of the world as we know it becomes something greater - less physical and more spiritual. I am also continuing to search for a label to my Higher Power or God or Spirit or whatever one may call it and at the same time I feel as though a label isn't necessary, it just IS. So that must mean that I believe in both and to continue to be in awe of the mystery and possibility of it all. I am also inspired to continue to seek the possibility in me - to evolve into all that I can be and to sit still long enough to know that I am.
