Sunday’s Service at North Chapel

Reflection by Rev. Dr. Leon Dunkley
“The Soul of Wit”
We say that brevity is the soul of wit. Wit is our sharpness, our intelligence and our laughter. Can we access our laughter without a moment's hesitation? ...or is something standing in the way?

Sunday’s Service at North Chapel
May 5, 2024
Reflection by Rev. Dr. Leon Dunkley
“Is Kindness the Soul of Brevity?”
If brevity is the soul of wit, as William Shakespeare once said, then kindness must be the soul of brevity. Both authors of The Book of Joy agree that there are “three factors” that increase happiness—one, our ability to reframe our situation more positively; two, our ability to experience gratitude; and three, our choice to be kind and generous. Reframing things takes time, more time than brevity can spare. Gratitude is commonly responsive. It unfolds slowly, like a blossoming flower. The choice to be kind is immediate. Why is that important for the soul?
Monthly Reflection Themes
Worship Theme for May 2024
Can this month’s Mother’s Day be a celebration of Mother Earth, the mother of us all? May we recognize and embrace our interdependence with nature and open our hearts to the abundance of creation that surrounds and sustains us. And may we try to create sustainable lifestyles that honor the world as the home for all living things.

Reflection by Rev. Dr. Leon Dunkley
“Totality”
So many of us saw the eclipse a short while ago. The partial eclipse was visible all across the country. The total eclipse was visible only along a very particular path. "Where were you?" became the question we were asking because where we chose to be determined the experience that was possible. Is the same true in spiritual experience? Where we choose to be in spirit makes a difference.
