Gathering 154: “Moral Foundations – Sanctity”

We all want to “fit in” and feel accepted. Think back to your early school yard experiences. No one wanted to be the last kid picked for foursquare or dodgeball. Although we may have blamed others for making us feel as though we didn’t measure up, it is innately human to feel inconsequential and unimportant; perhaps, even unclean. The human condition is to repeatedly explore and determine what corrupts or defiles a person from living in community. To be pure and chaste, is to be clean and worthy to belong. Join us this week for our continued worship series, Moral Foundations, as our guest speaker, Rev. Scott Jones, examines the fifth of six moral foundations, Sanctity. Reflect on how often you categorize or judge others about everything from politics to mask-wearing. Explore how Jesus spoke to our human propensity to find sanctity from the outside in. Discover the paradox of finding true liberation and sanctity only when you reexamine the condition of your heart and instead look inside out.
 

What does your moral foundations profile look like? Elections offer us the perfect opportunity to reflect upon our morals and intuitive ethics that shape our narratives and virtues. While the culture wars and populist movements are beginning to gain momentum, where do you stand? On November 3rd, consider what “sanctity” means for you.
