Seeing God in Sarang’s company to Pinto and Toby
Hey there, wonderful Everyday God-talk community! 🌟 This week, let's take a moment to reflect on how we connect with the divine through our relationships with other living beings. And guess what? These beings don't have to fit into the traditional categories of "spouses," "partners," or "children."

Psalmtember & Marcus Hong
Ah, September, you enchanting month!

Presbyterians and the World’s Religions
We’ve done a great job sharing the PC(USA) study document about antisemitism and Islamophobia at the Parliament of the World’s Religions.

We really made some awesome connections with some amazing folks in this interreligious setting. Curious about what’s in that study document?
