The Spiritual Discipline of Acceptance
HRC’s Religion and Faith Program has been exploring the concept of acceptance in the first few bus stops. In addition to our Pathways to Acceptance forums, I spoke this Sunday at First-Plymouth Congregational Church about the spiritual discipline of acceptance. I asked the congregation to think about acceptance as a life-long process rather than one time destination.
Over 100 people attended the talk and the discussion was lively and informative. First-Plymouth Congregational church is a magnificent congregation with over 3,000 members and a life-affirming Spirit that is palpable to all who walk through their doors. We are proud of our partnership with them and are inspired by the whole community in Lincoln, Nebraska.
