Sermons explore the intersection of historical texts and current realities. Our excellent music program launches soul through choral and communal song. Children lead in worship\, we sing varieties of hymns meant to engage hearts and imaginations\, and our cathedral sanctuary bears witness to an enduring desire to praise God in all ways. In the United Methodist Church\, communion is open to all and is shared on the first Sunday of the month. Worship is enriched by a variety of voices\, including our pastors\, Rev. Elizabeth Macaulay and Pastor Laura Hannah\, along with guest preachers and members of the community.

SUMMARY:Confirmation Class
DESCRIPTION:Sundays 11:15-12:30 in the Church of Youth \n\n\n\nConfirmation is a vital ministry where youth are supported throughout their spiritual  \n\n\n\njourney. The program encourages students to connect with God\, the Bible\, the Church\, and caring adults.  Participants may join a confirmation class anytime between their 8th grade year and their senior year of high school.  \n\n\n\nStudent learning will center around classroom time\, hands-on service activities\, field trips\, and yearly summer mission trips. Students are expected to attend regularly\, participate in worship\, complete service hours and meet with mentors. Their final activity will be the creation of their own faith statement prior to the rite of confirmation in worship. For more info\, email Lynne Carroll (lynne@haumc.org).

Fox believes that the teaching of original sin—which Jesus never heard of (no Jew has) has served empire-builders very well but that original blessing—the awareness of the goodness of creation—must take precedence.  The implications are profound for psychological as well as sociological and ecological transformation.  Oppressed people everywhere will recognize the difference.   \n\n\n\nFox lays out the ancient but often neglected (and sometimes condemned) creation spiritual tradition in Original Blessing.  The sacredness of creation and of our role in it is a starting point—what the mystical tradition calls the Via Positiva\, the path of joy and delight\, awe and gratitude.  The Via Negativa is the path of darkness and silence and also of suffering and of letting go and letting be.  The Via Creativa is the path of creativity.  And the Via Transformativa is the path of justice and compassion.  All four paths constitute an adult spiritual journey.  Each feeds the others.   \n\n\n\nFox also lays out 27 themes that interweave among the Four Paths.  For Fox\, all of us are mystics and all are prophets\, and he shows the journey of both in this groundbreaking and revolutionary book that deliberately rejects the 3 paths of purgation\, illumination and union that fail to put justice or creativity at the heart of the spiritual journey.  In this revolutionary work\, Fox shows how Christianity once celebrated beauty\, compassion\, justice\, and creativity and provided a path of ecstatic connection with all creation.
