White and Red Make Pink

This week, we begin a new series called "Do Unto Others." Marcia McFee wrote: Our world seems to be consumed with division-often typified in the colours red and blue. Rather than stay in our monochromatic silos, the Golden Rule in scripture challenges us to engage in converstaion and seek to create whatever common good we can with our relatives, friends, and neighbors who we might consider to be on the "other side" politically and ideologically. As we attempt to come together, the idea is not that we are obliterating either one or trying to challenge each other, but rather, we discover the beauty that can be created when we work together to make the world a better place. The "purple space" is where we cultivate kindness, compassion, humility, respect, and love for one another and for the good of all world, no matter what. I have chosen to adapt the series from Red, White and blue=  Purple to Red and White=Pink. I think this is an important time in our world to discuss how we engage with those who are different from us. Let's see what God is calling us to today.
