Likewise, the church is called to live from one generation to the next for the sake of the world. As we mark the 503rd anniversary of the Protestant Reformation this week, this truth is just as urgent as it has ever been. Moses must pass the future to others, and so must we. There is danger and astonishing possibility in these fraught times, and our response to the moment, our investment in what is coming and what can be is all the more important. How can we who have guided the last generation make way for the one that is here now, burning with a Spirit of possibility, of reform, of service and healing? How can we who hold the levers of power within the institution hand them over faithfully—with courage and goodwill? And what is the work of those of us who are ready to take it on?

At the same time, the liberation these words call us to is the work of a lifetime and it is the work of community. It takes courage and vulnerability to reject old harmful patterns and turn toward ways that are more just, more honorable. It takes truth-telling and good company to painstakingly discern the good from the bad, the useful from the distracting, the life-giving from the death-dealing. And it takes forgiveness and mutual aid to keep going—to give ourselves and each other the time and grace we need to learn and grow in the promise and the power of God.
So, be encouraged to look to the stars: those points of light that offer us glimpses of the kingdom. Rest at the tables set for us. And give thanks to God that in the hard work to which we are called and in the goodness that breaks in to guide and comfort us, we are ourselves becoming part of God’s nourishment and light for others.
