“Attending to Our Stories: How the Past Shapes the Future” – Rev. Karen Gustafson

Much of human discourse is story. At dinner parties or during coffee hour, in encounters with old and would be friends, we share pieces of our lives in anecdotes that build an impression of who we are and what we value. When we are part of a community, those impressions gather into a larger story which creates expectations about the the larger community and what it values. Part of our work in the Interim is to look at some of those stories and consider how they might inform the selection of the minister who will accompany you into the future.
