These are difficult days. We all know reasons: pandemic, economy, election, racism. For many of us, there may be other sources of stress and anxiety in family, work or elsewhere. We sort of get the feeling we’re all at a breaking point. So... How do we not just hold it together, but actually hope for a future we cannot yet see? How do we get from here to the place of promised rest, prosperity and fullness that God intends for us? This week, we’ll look at one of the most power...ful readings in the Torah: the final moments in Moses’ storied life with God and God’s people. That life was characterized by one thing above all others: faith. Join us this Wednesday for a word of life in the wilderness. Learn how to keep the faith even when the chips are down from one of the Bible’s greatest teachers. Click the "Get Reminder" link below and FB will notify you once we go live. Love and blessings, Jude

Think about it, there must be a higher love Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above Without it, life is wasted time Look inside your heart, and I'll look inside mine

Please join us this Wednesday for the next in our series on faith and social good: "Crucial Conversations: Prop 17 and the Economy of Freedom" features Alma Robinson, Executive Director of California Lawyers for the Arts, and the Rev. Anna Rossi, Succentor. Alma and Anna serve together on Grace Cathedral's Social Justice Working Group. Alma's expertise includes education advocacy, alternative dispute resolution, and engaging the arts for personal and social transformation. Th...is year, Grace Cathedral entered into public policy and advocacy by endorsing Proposition 17. If passed, Proposition 17 would restore voting rights to those who complete their prison terms and were disqualified from voting while serving a prison term. Our endorsement proceeds from our conviction that every person is made in the image of God, our mission and ministry of reconciliation, and our belief in a divine economy that leads to flourishing. Prison sentences disproportionately affect BIPOC communities, who are also least represented in government, so endorsement also issues from our commitment to become an anti-racist Christian community. Join us at 5pm PDT for The Vine: Online! #inclusivechurch #graceathome #crucialconversations

This week we turn our attention to one of the most important parables Jesus ever told. If you grew up with some of the praise and worship music that preceded the contemporary music we often hear at The Vine, then you’re probably familiar with the image of Jesus as the Divine Boyfriend. Women, especially in certain Pentecostal and evangelical circles, were (and maybe still are? I hope not) encouraged in the 90s to go on dates with Jesus to avoid the perils of temptation that ...might otherwise ensnare them with ‘real’ men. Teenagers again, especially women (noticing a pattern here?) - were encouraged to wear abstinence rings as part of the True Love Waits campaign. To this day, in more venerable, apostolic traditions such as our own, when women or men profess a life a life of celibacy as part of monastic rites, they receive a wedding band to signal their complete fidelity to Christ. But is this really what early Christian authors had in mind when they cast Jesus as the Heavenly Bridegroom? This week’s parable gives us a peak into what may be the most important and least understood metaphor in all of biblical theology and Christian spirituality. Far from a shmaltzy romantic ceremony, this Parable of the Wedding Feast ends in a bloodbath and expulsion. It’s all very Game of Thrones Red Wedding. So, whether you’re working out some serious baggage from bad theology, or just curious about the main way that Jesus’ earliest Jewish followers understood themselves vis-à-vis this first century Judean celibate rabbi, then join us this Wednesday at 5pm PDT!
