25th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Proper 20), yEAR b

Seeking wisdom can be a tricky thing, am I right? Are we seeking truth or seeking what we want to be true? One person’s wisdom is another one’s ignorance. Just read through the book of Proverbs: Depending upon what one’s station in life may be, there are contradictions all over the place!
 
Yet, it is something that we all seek. And it may be best that we seek it together.
 
Come and join in worship.
 
Enter into worship. 
 
Readings: Proverbs 31:1-31 †  Psalm 1 † James 3:13-4:8a † Mark 9:30-37
 
About the Art: Nimoy, Leonard. Shekhina 93-4, from Art in the Christian Tradition, a project of the Vanderbilt Divinity Library, Nashville, TN. https://diglib.library.vanderbilt.edu/act-imagelink.pl?RC=54186 [retrieved September 17, 2024].

“In his book entitled Shekhina, Leonard Nimoy offers a compelling and inspirational photographic study of the feminine Divine. Inspired by his upbringing in the Orthodox Jewish Tradition, he has devoted much of his creative and intellectual energy to exploring this figure. ‘A Feminine word in Hebrew,’ reports Nimoy, ‘Shekhina is the Talmudic term for the visible and audible manifestations of the Deity’s presence on Earth.’ He speculates that, ‘Over time, Shekhina came to represent much more—a softer, empathetic, feminine counterpart to God who could argue for humanity’s sake, comfort the poor and sick, and stand as the mother of Israel.” –Chance Dillon
