This June thousands of delegates to our General Assembly voted to amend the bylaws of our denomination to include core religious language acknowledging that love is at the center of who we aspire to be.  This multi-year process was a reminder that it matters how we describe our values and beliefs and that we expect to review them on a regular basis.  Yet this is just the beginning.  Living into a love-centered life remains to be realized by each of us individually and collectively.  How do we transform the disdain and contempt in our hearts for those who disagree with us, especially politically, into love and compassion?  What role can we each play as we center love for all?
