June 15, 2025: "On Suffering, Hope, and The Unfolding Divine Truth" with Madeline Marlett
Description
Preaching for Trinity Sunday, Madeline Marlett offers a reflection on the tension between suffering and hope and the call to co-create a world where love, acceptance, and the fullness of divine truth can flourish for all: "The role of the Holy Spirit here is to continuously bring that enlightened truth into the world as the world is ready for it. Just think what more good news is there to discover ahead of us all if we just make room for it! So let us take this Sunday to remind ourselves that we are the hands of the Divine; we can shape a future driven by hope; that the Divine truths that were too vast for our reality will, in time, grow truly unbounded into eternity."Madeline Marlett (She/Her/Hers) is an LGBTQIA+ activist with a special focus on the intersection of LGBTQIA+ identities and faith identities.
