The Finding Fred podcast is fantastic, about the radical, revolutionary, and even subversive spirituality of one of America’s favorite children’s heroes. I heard this quote attributed to Mr. Rogers in episode 3, in a discussion about how Rogers was an ordained Presbyterian minister, whose calling was to minister to children and families through mass media. And he did it without ever talking about God. A lot of people are picking words for 2020, but I haven’t found a single word that encapsulates my vision and dreams for this year. But I keep seeing quotes and poems that speak to where I am and the world I want to help create. Although Rogers was Presbyterian, this particular quote is remarkably aligned with my UU theology, where salvation is possible in this life, and something we fight for as a part of an interconnected web of relationships with others and the earth. I’ll share more of my 2020 inspirations in the days and weeks to come. I may even be starting a new blog for the year 😱 Stay tuned. https://www.instagram.com/p/B61pGxgJX37/?igshid=1dqyrdyo52mso
