A Liturgy of Connectedness

To They which abide in togetherness,

We are finding ways to redefine belief. Faith. Spirituality.

We have come out of organized religion,
Evangelical indoctrination,
Legalism and fear.
We have left churches that perpetuated judgment
Against any whose life differentiated from their view
Of holiness
Righteousness
Worthiness.

We are entering into new-found freedoms,
And that is helping us discover new understanding
And better clarity on what your truth is.

We are discovering that our perspectives have widened;
That there’s a multitude of individuals welcomed into your family.
Your community.
Your church.

Let us commune together in the love you have provided.
Free. Open. Full.
Let us replace worship with connectedness.
Inclusive. Indelible. Intimate.

May we connect with you
In deep and mysterious ways.
And May we connect with this community
In authentic and supportive ways.

Amen.
