Gary-Paul-Nabhan-1-85x85When I woke at dawn through downtown Charleston, I was awestruck by the message the Circular Congregation Church chose to share with society at large, given all the challenges that Charleston citizens have faced the last couple years:

“Be the Church. Protect the Environment. Care for the Poor. Forgive often. Reject racism. Fight for the powerless. Share earthly & spiritual resources. Embrace diversity. Love God. Enjoy this Life.”

Brother Coyote, OEF
