Orchard Ridge United Church of Christ
Spiritually Alive, Joyfully Inclusive, Committed to Justice
Departing from male-dominated ways of interpreting society and the church, feminist theologies embrace an alternative vision of community, one of equality and mutuality among sexes, races, classes, all peoples, and between human beings and the earth.
I remember seeing a dad at our kids’ preschool one day picking up his child at the end of the day. He had a t-shirt with a statement on it that made me laugh out loud. His t-shirt read “I Have Issues.” Don’t we all?
“What I ache for in the church is for all people to be able to share the truth of their lives with some depth and some sense of safety.”
It is well known that Francis believed that nature itself was the mirror of God.
Swan was a powerful presence because, “he thundered against evil, whispered painful laments of forgotten opportunities and proclaimed truths based on Scriptures and theologians of his day.”

This collection of images is created by photographer Cheryl Diermyer with reflections written by Rev. Winton Boyd. Each image invites each of us to pause and reflect on our connectedness with each other and with earth’s natural beauty. The hurried pace of 21st century daily life in much of the United States leaves us little time for reflection, or to pause and really see others. It is often in the quiet spaces of our lives, when we find deeper understanding of how we make our way in the world. This exhibit invites moments of stillness and offers an opportunity to connect us to humanity and with all creation.
Exhibit hours and locations are:
May 11 - July 1
