The Sources of Our Living Tradition

Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder,
affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of
the spirit and an openness to the forces which
create and uphold life.

Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge
us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice,
compassion and the transforming power of love.
Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us in our
ethical and spiritual life.
Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to
God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves.
Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of
reason and the results ofscience, and warn us against
idolatries of the mind and spirit.
Spiritual teachings of earth-centered traditions which
celebrate the sacred circle of life and
instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.

LAKOTA PRAYER
TEACH ME how to trust my heart,
My mind, my intuition, my inner knowing,
The sense of my body and
The blessings of my spirit.
TEACH ME to trust these things
So that I may enter my sacred space
And LOVE beyond my fear
And thus WALK IN BALANCE
With the passing of each glorious sun.
